Thanks, Skitt - that's what I thought but the rest of the gang disagreed.
BTW, there would be no hyphen is that then?
Thanks again.

Also "breakfast bar" in the UK - we have one in our kitchen, but it doesn't have a hyphen.

In new homes, it's referred to as a breakfast bar.

The airportese "podium" stands a good chance as the future name of the thing in realtorese. See other thread.

Thank you. I am, right this moment, not more than a ten minute walk or so from the national headquarters of the REALTOR(R)s, however.
