Comments?
A few people chatted or contacted us to let us know the comments weren't working properly. We would love to hear from you so we fixed the comments. So, to encourage the use of the comment field, and to make sure they work.....we'll put you to the test.
While we have travelled in London only a short time we have found some words rather fun and interesting. Certainly much more formal then American English. So, without cheating, we would like to see if you can tell us the meaning of these words. Some might be rather easy- but still - don't cheat and use Google to figure these out.
STILL - When ordering this - both of us like to order it STILL. What are we ordering?
PRAM - Any idea?
What is the name of the man who takes out the rubish?
If you ask for your check at a resturant they often don't know what you are asking for. You have to call it by this name. We weren't sure about this but on Day 1 the couple from DC who now live in London comfirmed this for us.
Wheat Bread - they haven't been calling it Wheat Bread - - any ideas?
And probably the easiest one - TO LET.
We look forward to your answers.

Just so you know, I have no school smarts, no proper training in etiquette or foreign lands, and basically no real intelligence to speak of. That said, here are my guesses (I'm just happy I can leave a comment!)...
STILL: well-done, as in not still mooing.....?
PRAM: is it a derrogatory word?
RUBBISH MAN: rubbish ralph?
CHECK: tab?
WHEAT BREAD: brown? grain? heart-happy?
TO LET: *stumped on this one*
Still - my guess would be water, since those europeans love their nasty soda water
Pram - as far as I know, it's a baby buggy/stroller
Rubbish Man - no ideas, sanitation bloke?
Check - Bill maybe?
Wheat Bread - I vote for brown
To Let - Maybe to drain? Like as in 'bloodletting'?
Still - normal water?
Pram - ??
Garbage Man - Harry the Garbage Man?
