In England for the typical rich person. More specifically, did they have sinks in an actual bath room or wash basins? Any kind of information regarding this would be great, though I am most interested in their version of sinks. Thanks!
Answer
A sink - at this time period - was a hole in the ground, like today's sinkhole.
Water used for hand and face washing was in a basin. The water was poured using a ewer. These were also called a pitcher and bowl, which is how the term came to the US.
A "bathroom" was where one bathed. A rest room didn't exist. A powder room was where you went to have your hair or wig powdered. A necessary, loo, garderobe, latrine, lavatory or closed stool were used to relieve yourself. As time went on (past the 1700s) this place was also called the water closet. A closed stool was a chest with a hole on top that contained a chamber pot, this piece of furniture was placed where ever needed for convenience.
Some dining room side boards of the period contained a chamber pot, so that guests didn't have to leave the dining room. (sidebar - really sanitary, huh?)
The garderobe is the oldest term here and dates from the middle ages. The garderobe was a wooden board with a hole placed over an opening down the side of the castle. They were also placed over the moat, to discourage intruders from trying to swim the moat.

can a bank extend a promotional 0% no interest rate?
psx2k1
about a year ago, I went to my local furniture store and was granted enough credit to purchase my living room set. They offered no interest for 2 years. My brother-in-law went to the same store last week and was given no interest for 4 years. This really bothers me...will the bank offer me the same deal and give me another 2 year extension?
in addition, my wife wants to get a dining room table, so i'm thinking of offering the salesperson a deal: if he could extend my promotional offer, then I will get the dining room set and give him/her an easy sale (i still have enough credit to take out the dining room table)
has this happened to anyone else? can I pull this off?
any ideas?
wouldn't the salesman be eager to help me if I offer him an easy sale? Meaning, I still have enough remaining credit to purchase a dining room table, however, so it would be an easy sale and commission for him. I know he has no authority to offer me an extension, but I bet he will try his best to help me get an extension. I do have really good credit (thankfully). I don't see why not.
Answer
The financing of things like furniture can vary widely and the store can offset a loss of interest by charging a higher price. They could offer you a 10% loan for one week on a chair or a zero percent loan on a different chair. Or they can do it like car dealers and give you a discount on the price of the chair if if you select a loan with higher interest. You see car ads like, '$2000 off or zero percent financing.' The only thing you can be sure of is that they did the math before they made the offer!
You can always ask for different financing. Since you are dealing with salesmen you might say 'we have a loan through your company and we were considering purchasing a dining room table but we can't afford the payments as is. Could you extend the promotional offer so we can consider buying the table?'
