Ken:

Did you mean to say (UK cupboard)? I've heard both terms used
interchangably in the US, it may depend on which region you are from
as to which is preferred. When we lived briefly just north of London
there were frequent ads on TV for a place called "Texas Tom's" where
you could buy new kitchen "units". I can't recall Harry or anyone else
in these novels referring to cabinets as units but that is what the
Texas Tom ads called them. I wonder if that is standard UK terminology
or since Tom was purported to be from Texas is that what people in the
UK think *we* call them?? This was all brought back to me a few days
ago when I happened to be driving behind a car with vanity license
plates that read "TX TOM".

about electronics at Hogwarts when it should have been you. I
apologize for the error.
