Pavement and Bin Lorries

The new words keep coming. I learned all about Boxing Day. Hint - it's not about punching each other, it's about putting gifts in boxes :)

Sidewalk is pavement, garbage truck is bin lorry. Actually, when you start using the word lorry to mean truck, there's a whole raft of new words - fire truck, tow truck, etc. 

My wife said the mailman rang the doorbell yesterday just to say hi. The service is called Royal Mail and they do walk the streets with a bag over their shoulder carrying the mail. She was happy to see how happy he was!
