A courier originally used to be generally motorcycle messengers, taking small packages between offices etc
And a carrier the guys in vans/lorries transporting larger volume boxes/pallets......now Courier is used by the general population
When I was younger it was considered common to pronounce H as 'h aitch'.....rather than the usual 'aitch'
Now anyone under a certain age uses the former

Well it used to be - until it got re-branded/Yankified as sodding Logistics (and to my great horror our packages are, apparently, now 'shipped' rather than delivered).

Why, oh why do we have to Americanise everything?

Would that be 'to go'?
Indeed, and naturally I would have started my request with the words "Can I get"

The word 'S***k' (rhymes with punk he says not wanting to get into trouble for using lewd and lascivious language on here) used to mean
'having some spirit, bravado, a bit of daring do'.
Now if you say to a feisty lady "you seem to have alot of s***k" , You get a slap!

'Courier' is an anglicisation of the French 'currere' - meaning 'to run'. A courier was a runner, often of messages - without the use of a two-wheeled hair-dryer.
