"Lounge" is poncey and what you have at home.

"Saloon" would be much more appropriate - has all the right connotations ie - informal, last chance, wild west etc. And it's even a car related term so in keeping with PH.

Agree?

You might have a Lounge, you bloody commoner.

We have a sitting room, up North they have Parlours and those on the Classic Car forum have Drawing Rooms.

I do have a library (as well as a study) though...so does that redeem me in any way?

How about "Room that has fk all to do with motoring" as I seem to struggle to remember anything in here ever about motoring, oh hang on that's the point isn't it? Although my enthusiasm for motoring is far out weighted by my lack of technical knowledge hence too affraid to post in general gassing for fear of a total flaming, so left to the lounge, or 'General Babbling' I refer too it.

'The Lounge' is very lower middle class. It has an hopelessly aspiring aura surrounding it.

That's why I hardly ever frequent the place.

should be 'The Vault'. all the best boozers have a vault, and this is where blokes talk with total authority about things they know little/ bugger all about! just like the old P&P and the Lounge.

We should call it something traditional sounding but with a car theme (being a car forum)
