The cubby hole, under the stairs!

Ghandee

We've all different names for it, I call it cubby hole, done simply refer to it as 'under the stairs'.

Question is though, what do you keep in yours?

Theres a hoover, ironing board, suitcase and about 5 jackets hanging up in mine. Theres also an inflatable mattress in case unexpected guests arrive.

Any interesting stuff stored in yours, and what do you call the space under your stairs?

phasers

I don't call it anything... we keep coats and shoes there.

Edit:The bit under my stairs doesn't have a door or anything, it's just an area of space.

I know you are some sort of international man of mystery but are you saying that you actually had a hover-craft under your stairs, and it was so commonplace amongst your ilk that you simply refer to it as a hover.

Fcuking hell.

Don't have one in my house, where I grew up they were called the "coal hole" I guess people used to keep coal there at some stage. When I down in my mam's she will often ask me to get something out of the coal hole. Strage name I know.

He's just so blasé about his hovercraft usage, he doesn't even bother to use the manufacturer's name anymore, he just refers to them as 'a hover'. Much like us ordinary mortals do when referring to a vacuum cleaner.

As for my understairs area, there's some parts of a 1991 Ford Sierra, 4 alloys/tyres for same, some tools, and some 1970's/80's vinyl LPs.

A fuse box (or "consumer unit" if one is an electrician)..Thought everyone knew that though....You didnt grow up someplace really remote by any chance ?

It's going back a long time I'm 42 this year and don't remember coal being kept in ours, but I know people did. The coin gas meter was in the same place. However, It does take a bit if work to get coal going, it's hardly highly inflammable.

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I might incriminate myself.

There's a giant chess set under our stairs these days.

Was just called under the stairs in my gaf. Hoover, boxes excess drinking glasses for Christmas when the alcoholic neighbours popped in to bleed the drinking cabinet dry, random shyte really. Aunt made a curtain for it at some stage, no idea what was in there after the curtain went up .....

ElleEm

We call it the "under the stairs". It basically holds everything we can't fit elsewhere! We keep a surplus of cat food, loo roll and stuff under there. As well as tools, shopping bags, vacuum cleaner and other junk. It's a vital space when you have a tiny house!

That's what ours was called too when I lived at home. I always thought it was a terrible name. Kept a lot of sh*te in it really but never coal as far as I remember.

Wonder if anyone else gets it

I live in a bungalow, but I have a "cubby hole". I still call it the under the stairs - even though I grew up in a bungalow!
In there I keep, the laundry basket, the coats and shoes!

I get odd looks from people when they come to my house, "where did you put my coat" "under the stairs".......riiiiiight

Call it - the Leisure centre.
Keep in it - a set of well endowed twins with sexy bums.

I haven't looked since that day I seen the white misty figure go into that storage cupboard under the stairs. But I'm guessing there is some kind of portal to hell or something similar.
