` :Hi, :I grew up in Victoria during the 60s (I am in my mid 50s now). Rubbish was always used in reference to bins, trucks, etc. including just rubbish itself. We ate pudding after mains, although dessert became much more commonplace in later years, with sweets to a slightly lesser extent. I never knew what a thumbtack was until years later, it was, and still is drawing pin. I never used the term bangers for sausages, it's probably more colloquial in reference to ``bangers and mash``, so not widely used on its own. I have always heard the term estate agent on about an equal usage as real estate agent. :Hope this all helps.   `
