A dining room!! Oh, my goodness, somebody is soon going to state that they have a study and a library. !!
We must be getting more wealthy ... nearly everyone I knew/know (as discussed on previous threads) had/has a front parlour and a living room plus sometimes a small lean-to type building which would hold the cooker/fridge and washing machine. Still majority of houses in our dear Accy are like this. Just curious to know why you ask this question Willow ?
The living room doubled up as the dining room complete with table (drop down variety) and chairs for eating. Always ate at 'the table' as was no trouble to hop from the living room settee to the table and not proceed to a separate room.
Seems that now some have a dining room, they prefer to go back to the living room as per Shortstuff's post.
Are we never satisfied?...
Guess a graded 'working class' area as ours will take a few generations to catch up on the middle classes, eh ? Still think we have more fun though.
