Here is another example for why British English and American English are two different languages.

shopping trolley

BRITISH

a bag or basket on wheels for carrying shopping, in particular a large wire basket on wheels provided for the use of supermarket customers; a shopping cart.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The correct spelling is "shopping cart". A cart is not a trolley FFS.

I recommend this humorous BBC News video, click the link. By the way, it's "meters", not "metres". And it's "practice", not "practise".

Coronavirus social distancing advice: What two metres looks like

The UK government is advising people stay home and only go out if they need to fetch food or medicine, to go to work if it's essential or to exercise.

Even when you leave your home, you need to practise social distancing and keep at least two metres away from other people to protect yourself from catching coronavirus.

But it can be hard to know exactly what that looks like.

The BBC's health correspondent Laura Foster helps explain the best ways to keep safe and keep the correct distance away from other people.
