Or a "lorry" as they call it.
I can imagine the next Die Hard movie. Terrorists shut off the power in a London high-rise. John McClane, visiting England with his family, is trapped in the lift. There's only one way to stop the bad guys - Bruce Willis has to eat his way free!
Actually mate we call elevators "lifts". Lorries are what you guys call trucks (we also call them wagons). Cheers, Padster :)
ReplyDeleteI think you missed the joke. It's my running gag that the English call everything a "lorry."
ReplyDelete(You'll note that I used the term "lift" in the next section!)
I lived in the UK for a bit, and am reasonably familiar with the lingo, or as you call the lingo, "the lorry."
Lets take the lift to the lorry to the loo and get pissed with our mates
