1) what is a hob?

2) what is DSS/HA

3) what is D/C

4) what is a cloakroom/wc?

5) what does en-suite mean?

1) hob = a hotplate, the top of a cooker often ceramic or halogen that you use your saucepans on when cooking food.

2) DSS/HA = DSS = Department of Social Services. HA = Health Authority

3) D/C = erm.....??? maybe D&C what a woman has done to her womb...a kind of scraping to the lining of the womb.

4) Cloakroom/wc = toilet room (wc means water closet)

But the UK?? It rains alot there you know!!

Why not another State of USA?? Hawaii, that would be nice wouldn't it?? They have niceweatehr, I think?

Italy would be wonderful!!

If I ever moved thats where I'd go, there or to the Outback in Australia, no clocks no timetables just peace and wide open spaces..and the "net of course!!

tammerz · 14.09.2008, 04:58

well australia was mentioned
hawaii was not, way too expensive
but i have been looking in wales and the housing costs and wages are very competetive with the US, they speak english, and its not motogp hell like the states are
so we are looking, nothing definate yet, but its fun learning

Maree · 14.09.2008, 06:05

Sure doesn't hurt to look. I'm forever looking at other houses

Not that we'd move as where we are is really handy to everything we need. But its fun to go and look and get some ideas...Besides it costs nothing to look too..save money for other more important things, like Rossi stuff!!
