Expression: Gordon Bennett!
When British people want to express disbelief or real surprise, they use a large variety of expressions – some being very offensive to many people. I won’t list those ones here, but below you can see some of the non-offensive and popular expressions:
Gordon Bennett!
Flippin’ Henry!
Stone the crows!
Stone me!
Well, I never!
That’s a turn up for the books!
Blimey!
