I'm a MA native, and never heard anyone say "mal" for mall ... then again, I've never heard anyone say "tonic" meaning soda pop either.

I find the expression "moving house" rather redundant; in the States it's just "moving", with the context implied.

I'm assuming we've exported Seinfeld for the delectation of our U. K. friends? I wonder if the humour might be too Noo Yawk though?
