Oh and I meant to say that I am so relieved that I got the idiom right! I didn't want it to sound off to Brits.
Many (many!) years ago (1992-3) did a study abroad year in England. University of Lancaster, I you want to know. So I like to think I can do a half-way decent britpick on a fic. But like I said, it's been years (though we also lived in Ireland for 4 months in 2009) so my ear for British-isms has declined significantly. And I'm not at all current with how the cool kids speak these days :)
What is it they say? England and America are two countries divided by a common language. It's so true! Here we'd just say "under his clothes". "Kit" sounds very foreign!
