"I'm renting a FLAT" flat what? And for heavens sake, it's an elevator, not a LIFT! A lift is what you get after too many drinks at a bar. USA invented it, we named it! 90 second space flight? Not really. The flight is 1.5 hours... although during Mike Melvill's first space flight he was technically only above 62 miles for 1 second! :-) British call things whatever they damn well please no matter how incorrect they Odviously are! “I’m renting a FLAT” flat what?

I believe it may be an even more popular show there than here in the US. It wouldn't surprise me that this is a common mistake for reporters to make, I've made it myself a few times.
