[Tagging] shop selling trucks

[Max]

Interesting. I've watched a fair amount of British media coverage about 
the horrific human trafficking a couple of weeks back and noticed the 
repeated use of lorry. In this Sky News segment they say vehicle 
(comprising of tractor and container) and lorry, but they aren't saying 
truck once.
