It depends: Is the character keen on assimilating with the British folk, or standing apart as a foreigner? Ex-pat or visitor? Maybe both.

The greater questions for me is: What do the British call screen doors, fly swatters, eye-crust, gin-blossoms, hearing-aides, marital aides

They'd say poppet, not puppet...

I wondered whether that was a typo. Do some people really say 'puppet'? Seems rather creepy/aggressive rather than fond/affectionate...
-
It must be an error. No one says puppet.

"windscreen" is just wrong. It's not a screen of any sort. A screen has holes in it.

But you say Television screen, no?

Don’t know if fault is yours or Shriver’s, but it’s ‘poppet’ not puppet. ‘Poppet’ btw is exclusively used by upper middle-class people
