A lift
If a person wants a free ride in a car, etc. to a place he wants to get to, in the UK, this might be heard:
-Could I have a lift into town?
In the US, he might be said to have hitched a ride to the station.
But, say, it's raining, and a person, without an umbrella, wants somebody to share an umbrella with him, how should he phrase the question? I guess the word lift or ride is not applicable.
Thank you. J.
