Porch Ireland/UK Vs Porch USA

[Niamh.]

I had a sudden realisation over the weekend that Porches in Ireland & The UK and Porches in America are completely different. We have such a thing as an American Porch but we call it a veranda but I don't think I've ever seen an Irish/British style "porch" on an American house, do they exist there? :think:

I have often wondered by we dont adopt American style porches here, as it would be perfect for sitting in the rain when it is warm :laugh: and people love decking.... but not with a roof????
