Why's it called a skip, Denzil? And what's the difference between a trash can and a dust bin?

To answer your question on behalf of Denzil Ruth, i've no idea why its called a skip! There's no difference between a trash can and a dustbin, but we have wheelie bins now lol

Sue, a Mini Cooper, that's great! I LOVE Mini Coopers and want one so badly. However, a friend of mine has one here and when the snow is high in the winter she has to park it and drive her husband's car instead.  Apparently, the Mini is too close the ground. And that is the reason I don't have one yet.

My Mini may be a BMW in disguise, but it was still built in England, in fact it was built at the Cowley factory which is just a matter of miles from where I grew up. So German name or not, my Mini IS ENGLISH     .

Oh and Ruth, I wanted a new one with a Union Jack on top, but I opted for a two year old one and it has a sun roof, so I can't even have the flag added       .

But I can add it to my wing mirrors, and rear view mirror and the little thing that holds the state plate.
