If it's only got a shower, it's a shower room. If it's only got a toilet, it's a toilet. What could be simpler? It's so logical, it's almost French (Except in France, they call a toilet a WC - in French - double vé cé). MG They use the term WC (water closet) in Britain also. After all, it’s an English term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that people should have given their minds to that in the days of Elizabeth I, Armada, Drake, Shakespeare & etc. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 One thing I ALWAYS liked about visiting America was how nice and clean the public toilets are. It's America's greatest contribution to world civilisation. So long as you don't let too many Britons in the country. Ours are shitholes and pissholes for the most part. There are exactly two in Cardiff that aren't. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Actually, there are a few, but only two - in shopping malls - are usable by decent citizens. We're so behind the times we still have shopping malls in town centres instead of just out in the sticks. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
