Good job there is no such thing as an average Polish couple then. zzzz

Just to be rather British as I am sure many Stateside expect this; there are no trash cans in London, and there never can be.

I believe trash cans are items you have in The USA? I have heard the term on US movies such as Star Wars and documentaries such as The Simpsons, and I believe they resemble rubbish bins or dustbins. Indeed, we sometimes differentiate recycling bins from dustbins so we can get a warm fuzzy feeling about doing something for the planet. (As opposed to not buying times with so much packaging in the first place.)
