[00:00:00]Margaret, I asked the American man where the rubbish bin was, and he looked at me like I was mad.

[00:00:08]>> Harold, Americans do not say rubbish.

[00:00:12]They say trash.

[00:00:15]>> Trash? That is what something is, Margaret. Not what you call the bin.

[00:00:22]>> And they do not say bin either, Harold.

[00:00:26]They say trash can. A trash can. Can it though, Margaret? Can it really?

[00:00:34]>> Harold, please.

[00:00:36]>> In England, we say rubbish bin because it holds rubbish in a bin. Simple. Yes, Harold.
