In quotations, the British use the single first ['], and then the double ["] for quotes within quotes - just the opposite of how we do it in the USA. This makes reading it slightly difficult to read their passages that contain involved conversations.
British: 'She told me, "I'm going to town," and then she went.'
U.S.: "She told me, 'I'm going to town,' and then she went."
