So, are you now saying LHO was encountered on a "ground floor" ? Inside the TSBD Building?
There may be some confusion due to the English "ground floor" equating to the "first floor" in the U.S.
Every ground floor that I have encountered was on the ground level. In any event, the lunchroom encounter occurred on the 2nd floor, so it is a mute point.

[/TD][TD="class: postcell"]Ground floor First floor:
- In British English, the floor of a building which is level with the ground is called the ground floor. The floor above it is called the first floor, the floor above that is the second floor, and so on.
- In American English, the floor which is level with the ground is called the first floor, the floor above it is the second floor, and so on.

Mute point or not, it was an explanation of the possible confusion between ground and first floor.
