Another quick aside - I was amused by the Leicester term "on the sick" if someone was off work ill. Even for one day, "Sorry she's not in, she's on the sick!"
And I'd never thought about the fact we don't say fever - you're quite right. I was running a temp of 104 and was sent home from school and all Mum could do was complain that they sent me home in a taxi! I certainly didn't have a fever as far as she was concerned...
