Today I have discovered some new Canadian furniture terminology. I have got used to a recliner being called a lazy boy, a 2 seater sofa being a love seat and a large sofa, a chesterfield but now I find that what I would call a kitchen dresser (or a side board with a top bit) is referred to as a "buffet and hutch". Sounds like it should be out fighting crime in 1970s California wearing a leather jacket and driving a red Ford Torino. The worst of it is that Tom's family always refer to their china cabinet as the china hutch and I thought it was just a family joke because the china lived in there like a rabbit. What a twit.
