Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

We have an expression here in the U.S. "He can turn on a dime."  It means to make an abrupt about face in a matter of opinion.  Do you have an equivalent expression in the U.K.?  We also have, "Stop on a dime," which means come to an immediate halt.  Do you have one of those as well?  Thanks!

We have a similar expression, except a different piece of currency. xD As far as I know, the phrase it to 'turn on a sixpence' - I've heard my dad use it more than once, but I'm not 100% sure. I'd wait for another Brit to validate it before you go and ahead and use it. :)

Okay, thank you! I thought you might.
