When rolling on the trinkets table, you may get a result that doesn’t fit. Substitute an alternative where possible, and if all else fails roll again.
References to America (eg. a flag) can be replaced with Britain.
Similarly, references to American-made robots or products can be substituted for a robot or product made by a British company.
Any result that has to do with Nuka Cola merchandise can be kept (as Nuka Cola was marketed in Britain) or you can substitute for a branded drink by Newman’s Soft Drinks, the Britannia Beverage Company, or Fission! energy drink.
