I can't get over how coy we are at referring to dunnies/WCs etc.
Even Lavatory is based on French for wash.
Toilet is really about cleaning nails, generally tidying ourselves up.
They were sending up the Etihard (?) airline advert this week, where the voiceover on that Aussie actress (whose name escapes me just now), says "they even clean the bathroom every time it is used" BATH on an airliner??
Cheers, Mike.

Now, this is my pet hate. Movies & TV! Why do we have to have toilet scenes. Yes we all go. But ever damned film these days seems to show men standing at a urinal conducting some elaborate plan or other. Now, if I am ever in a public rest room and a man sidles up to me and begins a conversation, he is very liable to be knee dropped there and then. In my experience men do not talk to each other whilst peeing. In fact men go to extraordinary lengths to avoid any form of contact (eye, shoulder) whatsoever.

Equally sex scenes. Every damned movie. There was a time when directors could allude to the fact in often quite creative ways to suggest that the ugly business had or was just about to take place. Nowadays, not so much. Perhaps the modern sophisticated audience cannot read that deeply and has to have 5 or 10 minutes of faked heaving thrust in our faces. Doris Day never had to actually get nasty with Rock Hudson (just as well in hindsight). :wasntme:

Oh and one more thing. Please, actors - wash your hands after your fake pee scene. :cheers:

Oh, and where I was dragged up we called it the "Cludgie". :thumbsup:
