English lesson

I just discovered last night that the British do not make use of the highly useful word raincheck. I discovered this while sending a text to my friend Seth, and the auto-spelling feature thingy could not figure out what I was trying to say.

Since it is a baseball term, it makes sense that they don't use it. But I wonder what they use in its place???

Here is the OED definition, in case my non-US readers didn't know what it means: chiefly U.S., (a) a ticket given to a spectator at an outdoor event providing for a refund of his entrance money or admission at a later date, should the event be interrupted by rain; transf., a ticket allowing one to order an article before it is available, and to collect it when it becomes so; (b) fig. (see quot. 1930); also, esp. in phr. to take a rain check on, to reserve the right not to take up a specified offer until such time as it should prove convenient.
