[Ubuntu-l10n-eng] [Bug 406626] Re: Deleted Items Folder inconsistently named

Assigning to the English (UK) Translators.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation/WordSubstitution> says that
Ubuntu in UK English should use either "rubbish", "Deleted Items", or
"Deleted Items folder". But calling a folder "Deleted Items" is an
oxymoron: if the items were deleted, they wouldn't be there at all.

I suggest just using "Trash" consistently. It's much shorter than any of the alternatives, it's less work for the translators, and it puts an end to the situation where a partly-translated interface comically disagrees with itself. I think these are all the strings that need fixing:
<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/nautilus/+pots/nautilus/en_GB/+translate?search=trash>
<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gvfs/+pots/gvfs/en_GB/+translate?search=trash>
