   Hi, Mike Powell!   
   I read your message from 08.08.2024 14:42   
      
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
    ak> When I was a poor man and had a solicitor once when they found a   
    ak> pram in the dust cart, he got me off, and got shut of me and got me   
    ak> shut of him as quick as he could.   
   > ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
    ak> What is the pram pram in the dust cart? What does he mean? :)   
      
    MP> Pram is a "British" word for a baby carriage or stroller, i.e.   
    MP> something you lay or sit a baby in which has wheels so you can push   
    MP> it around while you walk behind it.   
      
    MP> Dust cart I believe is a rubbish or trash bin, likely also with   
    MP> wheels.   
      
    MP> In this case, though, I wonder if it is a British euphimism for   
    MP> something more specific as I don't understand how throwing an old   
    MP> pram out in the garbage would get a person into legal trouble.   
      
      
   Maybe Doolittle made his dust cart from a stolen pram? ;-)   
      
   Bye, Mike!
