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?


I figured that some might wonder what a "lorry" was. It is still a common term over here, but there arent many this side of the pond would know what a "semi" was, most people would think it referred to a style of house. A semi over here is usually known as an "artic" as in articulated lorry. But then you may know this already.

I'd rather ride it than clean it!!!!
