I get mixed up with my English vocabulary. I thought "sink" was the basin in the kitchen. Is the bathroom basin also called a sink? If I remember rightly when I lived in England (1948-1958) the sink was in the kitchen and the wash basin or bathroom basin was in the bathroom. Have I got it wrong? :blush:

I lived in the States (1968-1974) but I cannot remember for the life of me what their names were there (Arlington, Va).

Will somebody clarify? Many thanks.

PS. In my Collins English Dictionary the "sink" is in the kitchen. I don't have an American dictionary.

golondrina golondrina - As usual, you're quite correct. Webster's Unabridged Random House Unabridged and the O.E.D. agree that a basin is, "a bowl for washing, typically attached to a wall and having faucets connected to a water supply; a washbasin," hence the name of the basin stand from days gone by.
