We used to call it a pantry at mums before hers was knocked through when the kitchen got done.

Under the stairs in my house is a 'cubby hole' no idea where that stems from.

Another one - is it a quilt or a duvet? I say quilt, the other half says duvet!

Quilt, only posh folk say duvet....When I was a kid, two thousand years ago, it was an "eider down".

I had a Lada Riva for 6 years, never let me down, only thing I had to pay for was a new cam-belt at 30,000 miles (recommended in handbook). Replaced it with a Citroen BX, that was always conking out, a big heap of sh**..

Never heard anyone apart from people with big houses call it a family room. The living room is the room you spend most of your time in... Makes sence as you pretty much 'live' in it.

I call my dinning room the 'back room' though, it has the dinning table etx in it... Don't do much 'dinning' in it though!
