Ah, that makes sense - it's true that I and most of my friends from home live in post-war commuter houses. (It may well explain why one friend's house, definitely much older than mine, had a downstairs loo right next to the kitchen, which I did always think was a bit weird... Dunno if it lets college off the hook for the fact that some of the Victorian halls have toilets in the bloody kitchen (they're in fully walled and doored-off cubicles, but it's a bit gross).)

Still, I'm thinking more of big cupboards (not walk-in) that people might have to accommodate all their food and I'm not really doing very well. I mean, even little bed-sit kitchenettes - in the ones my friends have food still ends up in clusters.
