What Briticism does your head in?

A lot of British phrases are fastly creeping into Irish vernacular more and more.

"High Street" instead of Main Street

"Mum" / "Mummy" instead of the good old Irish "Mam" / "Mammy" / "Ma"
Is there anything more English sounding than Mum?

"Bollocks" - Used so much by the Irish now that they probably think it's Irish.
As British as Yorkshire pudding.
