Some (British) English words/phrases

I have the healthy habit of checking the BBC web page every now and then (http://www.bbc.co.uk). Here there is a list of some expressions I have found in the blogs/articles:

"I wouldn´t pay a fiver for it"  - British English informal  (A fiver being 5 pounds, saying you don´t think something is good enough)

"to take a dim view of something" - (Meaning to disaprove of something. Click to see phrase in context in a BBC article on The Green Lady by Vladimir Tretchikoff)
