Didn't know 'tenement' wasn't used everywhere.


What do you call tenements in England?

I might just not have been in the right places, but they tend to just be blocks of flats in England. I never heard the word before I came to Glasgow.

I would certainly refuse to let anyone drill holes in my wall when approached like that. I really can't see why it would be required; surely it can go on the roof? I wouldn't want someone elses' dish rusting on my property either. Nor a new dish and set of holes every time it breaks or wants upgrading, or if the next neighbour over reckons it's more convenient on mine than theirs...

It has down-market associations in England.

From Wiki: A tenement is, in most English-speaking areas, a substandard multi-family dwelling in the urban core, usually old and occupied by the poor. In Scotland it still has its original meaning of a multi-occupancy building of any sort, and in parts of England, especially Devon and Cornwall, it refers to an outshot, or additional projecting part at the back of a terraced house, normally with its own roof.[1]
