I said that as well.

Small world, mate.

My old house in Sheffield we used the back door instead of the front door, so the front room was at the back and the back room was at the front. But the front room opened onto the garden and the back room opened onto the street. Had a nice cellar though.

then a big space, it has an ironing board and the phone in it. the lounge is at the back

In my house we have the living room at the front and we use the back room for drying clothes, storing the ironing board/hoover/bikes

I have the attentin span of a gnat. I don't know. I guess sitting room at the back? Depends on how sheletered your front garden is.

but at my parents it was just front room and back room. to the point, innit

the living room is the back room. the kitchen is the kitchen.

in my parents house the front room is the living room, the back room is another living room and the kitchen is the kitchen and dining room.

in my house the kitchen has a dining table. I just don't use it

It's always been living room at the front, dining room behind.

Older relatives all had the front room as a (posher) front room with a deep pile carpet and plastic covers on the three-piece suite, and a back living room, with the television in it.

The latter is very much an older/working class thing, but it's very common throughout different ethnic groups in the UK, especially West Indian and Jewish.
