Our first flat was a bedsit, with a shared bathroom. It had a Baby
Belling.


I remember the name, so I must have lived in a bedsit that had one,
but I can't remember what it was.



See http://www.bellingappliances.co.uk/cooking/tabletop.htm
None of these looks exactly like the Baby Belling I remember from the
late 60s, but the idea is much the same.


This is more or less what ours looked like:

I don't remember cooking a meal of that size on ours, although I do
remember setting fire to lamb chops.

That looks a lot more like the thing I vaguely remember, including the
disgusting colour.

Er, wait a minute. How can it have "adjoining units" if it
doesn't share any walls with said units? Where's the adjoining?
WAIM?

Sometimes there's a garage in between, sometimes a walled
courtyard/garden, sometimes just a fence, or some combination of
these. There usually isn't a shared wall between the indoors part
of one unit and the next.

Gotcha. But only in the first case (garage) can I see how the units
would be "adjoining".

So, in Areffian, New York and Pennsylvania aren't adjoining states
because nobody's built a party wall along the border?

The state are adjoining. And the *plots* (or *lots*) on which those
units sit are adjoining. But if they don't share some sort of wall or
the like, the *units* aren't adjoining.


But the unit is what you get title to when you buy one, which includes
indoor and outdoor space. Your title adjoins the next one.

As I understand it, I own it only as far as the walls; I have a share in
everything else. Apparently, we only look after our sandpatches - I mean
back garden - because we have agreed to do so, since they are really
part of the 'common' area.
