Massively inaccurate. Q3 we use both flat and apartment in British English: a flat is normally a larger building which has been later subdivided, and an apartment is purpose built. The terms often used interchangeably. Q4 Woolly is also a correct term hence the joke about crossing a sheep with a kangaroo to get a woolly jumper! Q16 Bangers are not usually served for breakfast - we just call them sausages. Q20 we use the terms loo, lav, toilet, bathroom, john, WC, little boy's room, etc interchangeably. If you are being polite, you would say bathroom.

A singlet was originally what went under a doublet (as in the Shakespearean doublet and hose). Singlet is older and more northern in use these days. A tank top used just to be a knitted sleeveless pullover.

a singlet (albeit rarely used) is athletics wear. A sleevelss T is a vest - which may be worn as a layer under other clothes, or on its own on a hot day.
