Hi

Could you please listen to the following for one minute and help me understand the red words?

I would be grateful.

Many, many thanks, Amy

...but what is 'depot dumps'? Aren't they the same thing?

Quote:
Depot: place
Dumps: place


Could you please use it in a sentence?

Hi Tom

Though I have not listened to the clip again, I do remember that my impression was that she meant something like "ammunition dumps".
