RE: [OT] Variations in ordinals and building floor numbers

Gentlemen:

 

In France the entrance to a building is on the ground floor. The floor above is the premier étage – the first floor.

Hi David,

 

Never seen '*' in Australia.

 

My colleague lives in a apartment where the ground floor in the lift is marked 0, then 1, 2, 3 etc. Stupid! Obviously designed by a programmer used to zero based arrays. There's no basement, but I suppose they would have made it -1.
