In Australia is a lift more commonly known as a lift or an eleavator?

Lift. Although most people use the escalators and the lifts are generally a bit out of the way.

All sweets are lollies here.
I know, I know - it has been a source of constant amusement between me and my Aussie collegues with me trying to explain that it can't be a lolly as IT HASN'T GOT A STICK IN IT!

Yes, lollies. By the way, the ice lolly things on sticks are ice blocks. Crisps are chips.

That's another thing that amuses me. Crisps = chips and chips = hot chips.
So, if you buy some "hot chips" and in the course of getting them home they go cold, are they still hot chips?

The kids I teach call the ice lolly things on sticks icey poles and the things in plastic that we call ice pops are also icey poles.
