Probably the US/other mis-use of 'first floor' - for the UK people this
means 1/100th of a 100 story building - that's a lot (for the US it's a few mm - sorry 1/10ths inches on the ground floor)... "Roger Coppock" wrote in message ... Score one for Rodney!

We can sometimes take it too far, as with the old Met Office building at Bracknell where the Richardson Wing had an Entrance Floor with a Ground Floor above that. It was not until you'd reached the US-style Third Floor that you found the First Floor. -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK. E-mail: newsman, not newsboy. "What use is happiness? It can't buy you money." [Chic Murray, 1919-85] |
