Just been totally stunned to discover two bm members who do not know what trollies are ....and there was me thinking they were men of the world! Is it just me? Is this a term peculiar to my part of the north west? What are trollies known as in your part of the world?

i always thought a trolly was something you put things in and pushed around. like them things at the supermarket or on the plane, and as far as i know they've always been called trollies.

I was brought up in Southsea/Portsmouth, Hampshire, and I know trollies as trousers, it wasn't used in Yorkshire at the time, least I don't think so. Some folk, in Hampshire, called trousers strides, like the cockneys do. Supermarket trollies are called carts in America, I think trollies in America are trams (trolly bus), tho I could be wrong.

You're right Em - 'Kegs' do hold beer.

However, the pronunciation of 'Keks' as spoken in Castleford, where I lived back then was 'Kegs', which is I suppose, why I naturally spelt it that way!!!

Confused?????? we will be!!!!!!

Trollies = underpants where I'm from! Sandi, dont get me started on Americanisms, when I used to work in a Harley dealership I had to learn a whole new lanquage. Fenders instead of mudguards, mufflers instead of silencers, and the first time somebody asked me for a fanny pad I almost redirected them to the female hygiene counter in Boots

Well millitary issue ones are known as shreddies as they have fine mesh holes with the texture of a cheese grater. Another name is skiddies for obvious reasons.
