Mens pants: suspenders
Womens nylons: garter belt

Underpants - Underwear

Pavement here can mean a road or freeway too, any
large body of level concrete for transportation.

Yeah, that one could cause some trouble here ...

"Nappy" refers to unkempt curly hair of black people.
It's used by black people indicating that they
need some work on their grooming, and is usually
considered derogatory or offensive if whites use it.

> Dummy - Pacifier

"Dummy" refers to an idiot and is politically
incorrect here.

> Rubber or eraser - Eraser

"Rubber" refers to a condom here.

> Maths - Math

Mathmatics, usually.

> Biscuit - Cookie

Yeah, we have both cookies and biscuits ...

So, I'm adding this to your list:

Scone - Biscuit

> Jam - Jelly
> Jelly - Jello

We have marmalade, jam, jelly, and Jell-O ...

Marmalade usually has rough cuttings of peel.
Jam has fruit flesh, usually noticed as bits
of seeds or skins, with thicker, rougher texture
than Jelly.  Jelly is just pectin from the juice,
clear.  Jell-O is commercial gelatin usually made
from cartilage or bones of cows.

If your jam is our jelly, and your jelly is our
Jell-O, what is our jam? ...

Primarily, apple and grape are jelly here, marmalade
is orange, and most everything else is jam or
preserves, sometimes called spreads, but we do
also have fruit sauces and fruit butters.  As
you can see, you can get some berries as either
jelly or jam, but they generally aren't as widely
available as jelly.

(types from a grocery store website)

Jelly:
grape
apple
concord grape
strawberry
blackberry

Jam or Preserves:
concord grape
strawberry
apricots
blackberry
raspberry
peach
cherry
black cherry
red plum

Marmalade:
orange

(fruit) Sauce:
applesauce

(fruit) Butters:
apple
pumpkin

> Courgette - Zucchini

???

> Fish (plural) - Fishes

I think that one is "fish" here too ...
Generally, most uses are plural.  I.e.,
"a fish" would be singular, I think.
"My fish" would be taken as singular also.
It's likely that "group of" or "school of"
would be added to "My fish" if it was meant
to be plural, e.g., "My school of fish".
