Ah it's great to see the word lorry used -last night when we were at our Pastor's house and said about the speed the lorries went on the #1 Highway, they just stared at us blankly.

Finally they understood - SEMI'S:eek::blink:

You're kidding, right? Articulation as in manner of speaking, remarks, utterances etc. But then you knew this.....;)

So did I, so I checked with a Canadian friend last night,
"Whats a semi? said I,
" A house" said she,
"Anything else?" said I
"Halfway between a floppy and an erect" said she
:rofl:
So not a lorry or a truck
