Where is the first floor?

[HEADRAT]

The ground floor is the ground floor...
...Noooooooooooooo!

He he he and agreed

If I took my coffee beans to the 1st floor and grounded them up there would they actually in fact literally delivery be floor cofee instead?

My wife does this

It should be 'a week tomorrow' or something.

In Nigeria [and probably other similar places] they call the day after tomorrow 'next tomorrow'.

A week is Monday to Sunday (bible).
Next Wednesday refers to next week's Wednesday.

Simple logic

UK: upstairs
US, Norway and probably lots more countries: ground floor.

How has this thread reached so many pages??

 

[Gilly]

So that's that then, its your wife's fault.

It invariably is

 

[Nismo]

Our main entrance is on the first floor. But we also have a ground floor.

What a mind****.

You've referred to logic and the bible in the same post? And you're not arguing with yourself?!

So your Ground floor is the floor in the Ground? I could get on board with that!

11 pages? It's like watching turtles do it doggy style.

Ground floor. 1st floor. 2nd floor etc.

Well by your logic this is the 10th page (now 11th), since the one you start with doesn't count.

 

[randomshenans]

Pages aren't floors. Or ARE THEY!?

 

[Theophany]

4th actually, but that's because you don't have your account set up properly.

In theory if we opened this topic on a page called E, we could then call that the Entry page. Then pages 1, 2, 3 etc would follow as elevations above that page.

However, that wouldn't work because you would have to physically go INTO the topic to get to E. However, you are already on the ground when you go into the ground floor of a building. Which is why the rules apply to some things and not to others. You are already on the ground, you do not go to the ground to get to the ground floor.

 

[Vulcan]

However, you are already on the ground when you go into the ground floor of a building.

So you start on 1 since you already have it.

 

[Gilly]

You are already on the ground, you do not go to the ground to get to the ground floor.

You are on the ground until you enter a building, at which point you are on the first floor of the building you encounter.

 

[Lysander]

You are on the ground until you enter a building, at which point you are on the first floor of the building you encounter.

And if the ground floor has no walls or doors, purely pillars, are you still on the first floor? What makes the floor, the walls? The doors? No, the floor does. Just because it is beneath the building it does not become the first floor. It is the floor on the ground, i.e. the ground floor.

Are you in a building? If you are not in a building you are not on the ground floor, merely the ground.

By your rationale standing underneath this:



Puts you on the Ground floor :/

Are you in a building? If you are not in a building you are not on the ground floor, merely the ground.

But, what makes something a 'floor'?

 

[Gilly]

But, what makes something a 'floor'?

You tell me. If you are stood beneath the cabin are you on the Ground floor, or just the ground?
