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!

If it's Jonathan then I'd argue he'd probably use the half pence variant. It would also be something just slightly off enough to catch attention, maybe a joke about being old beyond his years?

Actually, it was for Hunger Moon, but come to think of it it would make a funny joke about his years if Jonathon were to say it to Rose. I may have to work that in. *grins* Thanks.
