Always worth making a note of boarders and lodgers as they can sometimes be related. MB

Lodgers have lodgings. Boarders get their knees under the 'board' or table for meals too. Hence the cost of 'board and lodging'. nell

Ok, weve had this a few times. Lodger pays rent to live separately in a furnished room within a household Boarder gets meals aswell. (Think 'boarding' school) .
