Btw John, one more question here. In your preface... Quote:
I don't think anyone in the UK speaks like this any more, apart from Her Majesty, god bless her. There's some great nostalgic footage of old bikes, cars and "lorries".
...You placed quotation marks around the word "lorries", giving me the impression you folks over there seldom use that word anymore to describe what we Yanks have always called "trucks". And so, is the word "truck" now more commonly used on that island o' yours?
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
