Magic wand time: Make the entire bay area a single entity like NYC, Tokyo, or London. Extend the zoning plan to the entire bay area, get rid of minimum parking space requirements in other cities in the metro, invest in transit and build infill stations in the new areas with planned increases in density.

The drug problem is another issue, but if the bay area were more affordable there would be fewer people forced out on to the streets who then turn to drugs.

I've only ever heard Autumnal used for the equinox. Otherwise Autumn and Fall are also used as adjectives in American English. Fall colors. Fall planting. A cool autumn breeze.

In most of these sentence examples, an American would use fall/autumn interchangably where autumnal is used.

I propose a combined American, British, Australian vernacular only using the word with fewer syllables. (New Zealand and Canada are welcome too)

British Wins:

• lift not elevator
• chips not french fries
• bin not trash can
• torch not flashlight
• loo not toilet/restroom/bathroom
• pram not stroller/baby carriage
• tap not faucet
• petrol not gasoline
• chemist not pharmacy
• sweet not candy
• jug not pitcher

American Wins:

• fall not autumn
• hood not bonnet
• truck not lorry
• pants not trousers
• cart not trolley
• subway not underground
• eggplant not aubergine
• sink not washbasin

Australian Wins:

• thongs not flip flops/slippers

Yeah its perfectly fine and tasty! Especially if you know what a soda bread is an are expecting that. The lemon poppy seed one looks amazing, I might try to make one from scratch since I have all the ingredients in the pantry anyway (except for ascorbic acid)

The best thing you can do for these types of recipes is to stop mixing immediately after the dry bits are incorporated, and bake the batter immediately after mixing since the baking powder and baking soda make bubbles immediately when you mix in your fizzy acidic beverage of choice. Same reason why you don't wanna over mix pancake batter, better to leave it lumpy and slightly undermixed.

Edit: Compare the top of your baked bread to the top in their marketing materials: did you add too much liquid (the recipe says 10oz not the full 12oz beer) or overmix?
