[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 141975, member: 44"]Welcome to the forums! Davenport! I had to think about that until I realized you were in Great Britain. I should have immediately realized you were in GB when you referred to your mother as "mum." In your corner of the world, secretaries, writing desks with a sloping surface and drawers, are called davenports while "across the pond" large upholstered sofas are sometimes called davenports. --- Susan[/QUOTE]
