So.. Heather's answer beats mine, huh?

I think it all depends on where you are and the time of day and what is going on.

Do you have those awful people in your toilets with bottles of perfume and soap trying to spray you and get you to pay them for the privilege?

It really puts me off from washing my hands when there's some idiot standing in front of the basin saying 'Freshen up for the ladies' and other such pleasantries....

In most places, no James. That doesn't happen here, unless it is some place extremely expensive usually.

You're lucky then!! They're pretty much in ever nightclub over here these days. They just stand there with a silver tray and a whole counter full of different aftershaves, so you really have to push past them to wash your hands. And then they start squirting the soap on your hands for you and giving you paper towels!! And then they expect you to give them some money!!

For foxtrot's sake, I think I can manage to wash my own hands without paying some friendly Nigerian man to do it for me!!

hi stuart

Stuart, UK'ers refer to the bathroom itself as the "toilet."
Americans find that crude (shockingly!--Europeans are supposed to be more stuck up than we are)--So anyway..

We use euphemisms like bathroom, restroom, ladies room, etc.

That's just gross, Heather. Don't you ever just go to the ladies room to make girl talk?

I thought you were a TRUE girly-girl! I'm disappointed in you!

I am a girly girl, just the friends I go out with I've known for so long, that we don't really have to say anything. We know what each other is thinking and we can read each other's look quite well. Thank you very much.

That always used to amuse me no end when American visitors asked for directions to the toilet when I worked in Customer Services at a shopping centre!! Asking for the closet, or rest room, or WC, or bathroom, or conveniences!! It always sounded so posh!!

For me a bathroom has a bath in it and a toilet has a toilet in it!! I do love the differences in our language!!

Oh.. OK.. of course, I was just joking Heather!!

Thanks for not saying hello to me, Stuart!

I know but it sooooo much funnier to think about 5 midgets sitting in a toilet with bottles of perfume.....

And English people are certainly far from stuck up!! Years of our comedy heritage was based on toilet humour, and most of it these days is crass and vulgar at best!!

Admittedly, a lot of us do we think we're better than everyone else, but I guess that's the same in most countries!!

[stuart2004]

sooryyyyy marbelllssss...how are you?

[Marbella]

Jamesyboy, still American perception tends to be that everyone in England prisses around like the queen.

I'm aware of all the scatalogical humor, though. Some of that is even more elegant than American scat though.

Speaking of which.. Stuart is giggling over.. midgets with perfume in a toilet????!!!!
