Re: So Brits, how accurate is this?
I'm always amazed at how fired up people get over the whole "Lego/Legos" thing... Personally I've lived in both England and Australia and have never heard someone use "Legos" in real life.

Re: What Do You Call It
I don't remember it ever being specifically referred to when I lived in England.
In Australia, everyone I've heard has called it a nature strip.
