I get very annoyed when authorities class my home as a Bungalow. It is obviously a single-storey Cottage.

roses they could be called "lowrise" as opposed to "highrise" grin

after reading the apartment versus flat thread, thought it was time that someone came up with a new name for a bungalow. Yes, I know it's tradition and it's an Indian name, which is where bungalows came from in the first place...... but if they had a more appealing name they would become more fashionable?I have to say I love living in one [had both bungalows and houses in the past] all the ease of living in a large flat but yet it's a house, with garden and neighbours. There was a thread a while ago called something like 'do you want to die in a bungalow' which I found hilarious [well, it's better than dying at sea etc.] Another Indian name perhaps? What about 'tiffin'? 'oh yes, I live in a large tiffin in the centre of the village' Hmmmn, makes you think of choc bar doesn't it?Any suggestions welcome. smile
