).

Marks and Spencers had a lovely love seat that would make an ideal reading chair for one person

Okay, what exactly is a love seat? Doesn´t sound like something you read on, ahem, and my online dictionary refuses to translate it

It's either a very cozy two seater sofa (cozy enough that if you're not built like a stick insect you have to really like the other person to sit with them on it), or a very large arm chair.

Personally I think they make very good armchairs. Sofas are far better for cuddling up to some-one on...

I see. Thanks for the explanation. We would call it a "sofa for two" (roughly translated), German is that unromantic!

Furniture often have strange names. I remember when a chesterfield used to be a cigarette.

Chesterfield is also known as a couch or sofa, and also an Amerian Ciggy.

or maybe English after the derbyshire there.

zelda_pinwheel · 12-30-2008, 06:55 PM

ah okay, i didn't know that. although now that you mention it, i think maybe i do know the cigarettes... is the sofa use recent or old ?

We used the word chesterfield when we were young, seldom used now except by my mum.

Isn't a coat made of tweed with a black velvet collar called a Chesterfield?

Some definitions of Chesterfield, the cigarette is plural Chesterfields
1. Canada Northwestern US sofa: a large sofa with upright armrests at the same height as the back, usually upholstered in leather and with a rolled-over outward curve along the top
2. UK Canada couch: an upholstered couch or sofa with back and arms of the same height
3. overcoat: an overcoat, usually with concealed buttons and a velvet collar

The Chesterfields I know look like this:
Okay, now we have love (seat) and drugs in one thread. Could I have some rock´n´roll, please?
