My five knuts worth will require a little bit of pedantic explanation 
for US members - just to make sure the term means the same thing.

Often where there is building work going on, you see a large metal 
open bin type receptacle that can be taken away by lorry and where 
large builders' rubbish is put for disposal - we call this a "skip" 
in the UK.  

Usually the name of the company is displayed on the side of the skip 
and one of the most common names is "Tonks" and that racks me up 
everytime I see it.  

Oh, and I now ALWAYS refer to certain biscuits as Ginger Newts to my 
often ridiculous embarrassment in shops - because I frequently forget 
to be a normal person...
