Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

What's a small bed, like a camp bed called over there?  Portable but not like a rollaway.  They'd be more like a sleeper berth on the train only a bed that comes away fromt he wall.  We call them cots here, but I think you call cribs cots there.

Thanks.

I don't know if this will help, but here's a site of British slang and stuff. I'm not sure if it has what you need, but mayhap it will help in the future?

Yeah, I find that site to be far less accurate than the Brits on this list. It's just not very good outside certain areas. Limited, I guess. But thanks.

*slight detour from sunny Wales where I am on holiday to the internet cafe*

It's a camp bed. There are some called Z beds, (prounounced ZED to rhymme with bed), however even Z beds get called camp beds.

Thank you. I've written some lovely smut while you've been away. I hope you're enjoying your trip.

Just a quick look what's happening in LJ land before we get ready for dinner. Oooh smut! Damn! I'm going to have to wait until I get home to read it all!

We're having a lovely time; the weather is lovely and the beach is quiet. The girl and I have been hunting shells! The boy has been trying to look cool in front of a couple of teenage girls!!

We're back next weekend - 1 more week - I could stay here forever. I LOVE Wales.
