Just what I was thinking - you can get outdoor grade lifts (you see theme here and there in London). Short vertical drop to a single width path.
Plagiarism. Other reports refer to 3 flights of stairs. If you av to go up 3 flights of stairs to get to it then its a 3rd floor flat innit?
Too much fun?
In most countries, the ground floor is the first floor.
The journalist was writing for Australia where I thought they still used the Olde Englishe ground floor. But perhaps Tony Bryer will be by to give an on-the-spot opinion (if he deigns to refer to places so far beneath his loft abode)?
So it's not just Americans who are confused by the concept of zero in counting floors in a multi-story building then?
There would seem to be some irony in the phrase "Ground Zero" as used by the American breed.
Didn't the Daily Wail article say they'd been moved there from another property?
