Nannies in the park?
Is a pram the same as a push-chair? Well, no it's not. You don't see many prams these days, but effectively it's a bed on wheels - four big wheels, and the baby occupant lies down flat. A push-chair. as the name suggests, is a chair - a chair on small wheels, where the occupant sits. So what? Well on the game-show "The Chase" - which I watch from time to time - a contestant was asked what the UK equivalent of the US "stroller" was and was told her answer of "pram" was incorrect and the right answer was push-chair. Lot of people gone on Twitter and such to say they're the same thing. But, as explained above, they're not. Perhaps not a particularly well constructed question, but the answer she gave was wrong.
