    Laminate/wood flooring downstairs, and carpet upstairs - avoid light coloured carpets, especially for tenants with kids. A dark beige or camel brown sort of carpet colour seems to be acceptable usually.

    Sigh... British invention?? Don't fink so...

    Wrongipedia...



    3rd & 2nd millennium BCE in Britain we'd 'ardly got beyond caves 'n mud huts... other places, as now, were much more advanced..


    Who cares who invented it, it's who adopted it the most.... and it's the Brits!

    Btw, don't confuse carpets with rugs! First time I saw a carpeted bathroom was here in UK. A while ago, but still...

    I've seen quite a few carpetted bathrooms in the US even though they, as a nation, pretend to be horrified at carpetted British bathrooms.

    LOL, I haven't! Must be the combo of two taps and the carpet that does that! :rotfl:
