You don't have a floor on the main level of your house? You're just rawdogging the earth, watching TV with the worms?
Welcome to the UK
That's the ground floor buddy
The ground what? The ground what?
Is this maybe part of the reason? European buildings are so old, the literal ground is the floor. We dig into the ground to make a basement. We pour concrete into/onto the earth to lay bricks on top.
US homes I see are mostly raised wooden floors off the ground. You literally make a first floor, even if it's very close to the ground level.
Wouldn't be too surprised.
