Can you fry milk? rubschin:

I suppose if you used a frying pan you could.

I am of course applying the "Estate Agent" principle here. You know the one that says because a room contains a bed it must be a bedroom and if it has a desk in it it must be a study. When one local agent noted a desk in my study and a computer on a side table in the front room he became confused and suggested that we had His and Hers Studies. I pointed out that the room with a piano was simply a reception room. The presence of a piano did not make it the fvcking Albert Hall.  Banghead

I suppose a commode in the bedroom gives it an 'en-suite bathroom' ?

That indeed seems to be their way of thinking.

We had a bidet fitted in the bathroom some years back. Not one estate agent could think of how to describe it.  ::)

Reading through their various descriptions of the house we saw "Modern 4 piece bathroom suite" "Luxury bathroom fittings" and even "Additional bathroom fittings"  Not one could bring themselves to say "& Bidet" ..... but then I never cease to be surprised at the number of the kids friends who make a fuss when they see it...... And these are the ones whose parents are forever jetting off to one Costa or another on holiday. You'd think they would have encountered a simple arse washing device that has been around for centuries.
