It's that old 2 nations divided by a common language thing again. It
takes time to tune in to the nuances of conversation in different
places.

Well, I have managed to figure out bangers, mushy peas, quid, jumble,

major event it is here.

Going to the surgery is visiting the doctor/practice nurse.

Having surgery is the process of having bits cut, etc. The can happen at
the hospital or, sometimes, at the surgery.
