Floorboards are for scrubbing , and I'm well versed in that art, too. Bumping is for linoleum (or parquet - and whoever saw that in the RAF ?)
Not so Danny. We had a bumper at home, and the CSM (aka Mum) made us roll back the carpets (not fitted, natch) and use the bumper to polish the exposed boards between the carpet edge, and the walls.
