Almost definitely. (I'm second-guessing myself on the potatoes-beans thing, because I'm suddenly remembering when I was really small and we did have a wall-high cupboard, with potatoes at the bottom and other stuff on shelves. But I don't think that's standard. I mean, as a rule, I think British kitchens tend to have several little cupboards (above and below the work surface) before they have big ones, so your stuff gets split up by necessity.
