Thanks. How do you differentiate between a pick-up truck and a "lorry" truck then? I've actually been living here for close to 6 years now but as I was writing that post I realized I didn't know how to explain the type of truck easily. Does truck automatically imply "lorry" truck, because truck seems to also mean pick-up truck by default in many cases.
