UK, Ireland / Common pitfalls for Poles learning English [187]

I too frequently have issues between the "have been" versus "was at". I tend to default to British English when in Europe as most people in Europe seem to have been trained using British English; however, when in the USA I always use "was at". With this said, I have found that all Europeans understand me if I use the American "Do you have", while many Americans give me strange looks if I say "have you...?".
