Avoiding Flatshare rowsIt is important to be aware of ambiguities in the English Language. The following confusions are very common :- | living room sofa | laundry basket | | living room floor | dishwasher | | living room floor | recycling point for newspapers and pizza boxes | | other people's cupboards | sainsbury's local | | bathroom | my ensuite | | washing machine | my wet clothes fermentation vat | | toilet roll holder | 'Why isn't there any toilet paper ?' | | Hoover bag | 'I only know how to use a Dyson.' | | kitchen sink | virtual dishwasher | | visiting cleaner | my mother | | boyfriend | honorary flatmate | | wall | impenetrable sound barrier | | hot water | fundamental right. | | privacy | selfish | | friendly flatshare | we need to fill the room |
Technology is good for avoiding flatshare rows: own phone lines,mobiles, dishwashers and electric clothes dryers are good. Second bathrooms are even better. Locked fridges are for boarding school however, as are payphones. TV remote controls constitute the usual hazard. Dial up modems are seriously on the out. Don't advertise WiFi Broadband if you haven't got a clue how it should be connected - this is actually quite important. |
