What does he mean? :)              Pram is a "British" word for a baby carriage or stroller, i.e. something       you lay or sit a baby in which has wheels so you can push it around while       you walk behind it.              Dust cart I believe is a rubbish or trash bin, likely also with wheels.              In this case, though, I wonder if it is a British euphimism for something       more specific as I don't understand how throwing an old pram out in the       garbage would get a person into legal trouble.              Mike               * SLMR 2.1a * "Einstein?
