For the purists and those for whom nomenclature is vital, the common name for said item was a “Dibbins” in which the word dibbins is broad Coventry slang (of the repeatable type) and relates to any object that doesn’t have a specific name. As for the ashtray, “fag bin” will do nicely, recognising that the word Fag has a different meaning in US English. Sorry gents, I’m too old to change and can’t be bothered to anyway.
