Flatmates: Where the rent is split, and the men are shared
John, have you ever lived in a flat share? No,
first off.
Well, okay.
When I say flat share, do we want to get the verbiage right? That's what I was going to
say.
Before we even get there, roommate, housemate, flatmate.
Do they mean different things to you guys? Are they all the same thing?
I think they're the same thing, right? Okay.
I think they are very interchangeable.
Okay.
I agree.
I just never know because everyone uses them differently.
Not differently.
They just use different
words.
I would argue, like, maybe in London, like, I live in a HMO, so I'd consider them flatmates because, whereas I thought Alistair's would probably be roommates because they still live in the same house and they share everything.
And for the readers back home, what's an HMO? A house of multiple
occupants.
See, I didn't know what that was.
So thank you for educating me.
Sorry.
I
live in
one.
But no, in my head, they're all very interchangeable words.
