Hey Russ,

Thanks for the dictionary on BV :-))) I did go through wikipedia but just like you cldn't get to the exact meaning. I am really puzzled by this one. BV to designate a floor seems really strange...

Anyways, thanks a lot for all your effort.

Cheers!

Good to know. Sorry I did not have Bottom Vloor on my list ;-) Sounds typically flemish. Which country are you heading to?
