Jack and Jill ensuite - what's that?

as is my habit I peruse the property page in the local rag and look at what I'd buy IF my ship came in via Fort Knox.
And there's a penthouse flat on offer (in an exclusive suburb of Valliland) which includes a Jack-and-Jill ensuite. DD thinks it might be for two to share at the same time.
I wondered if it was uphill and whether pails were involved...
Anybody KNOW what a Jack-and-Jill ensuite is?

A jack and jill ensuite is a bathroom that is shared by 2 rooms. It will have 2 doors - 1 to each of the bedrooms. When you go in to use it, you lock BOTH doors so that the people in the other r0oom can't use it. Then when you have finished, you unlock BOT doors, so the other room can use it.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

Why would you need to lock the door that leads to your bedroom?0 -
ewwww
so, in other words a Jack-and-jill ensuite is a bathroom they couldn't build access for from a landing;)

Technically, it is an ensuite as you can access it from the bedroom. True Jack and Jill Bathrooms can only be accessed from 2 bedrooms, not the landing. They were very popular in the 1960's and 1970's in cheap spanish hotels.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

My mum and dad had an avocado one in the 70s. She just permanently locked the other way in (to the spare room) and stuck the wardrobe across it on the other side.0

Why lock the bathroom door against that? Unless it was to keep the people from Narnia out of the bathroom.My mum and dad had an avocado one in the 70s.

Seems a sensible thing to do to keep the door locked if you've got an Avacado suite. Would you want anyone to get in and see that.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Doh, I always thought it meant there were two sinks so "Jack" and "Jill" could brush their teeth at the same time
