    Morning folks :D



    Communal loos seemed fairly common in NZ and I didn't hesitate in using them. I recall a conversation with a girl at uni who was a cleaner, and she said mens toilets are generally a lot cleaner than the women's :eek: I was surprised too, but she said you wouldn't believe what some women do :eek::eek:

    :(
    Having worked in retail back in the day, I can confirm that that is all correct.


    Men tend to go in, do the business and leave ladies (i'll use that term loosely) use it as a social hub and do indeed get up to all sorts and leave all sorts in there :eek::eek:

    Sitting at CC terminus! :j

    Who sits backwards on a toilet and why? Only thing I can think of is that maybe it was a man using the ladies, but why not lock the door?

    On a similar note a sign similar to this was very prominant in NZ

    image removed for lowering tone of thread......but TM started it! :D
    I some places in Japan it's just a channel on the floor :eek:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    Started off dull here but the sun has broken through, lots of cloud hanging around.

    Popped to Lidl, and Mr T, had a £3 off £30 spend to use up :D. Easy to get to that total this time.

    Has anyone tasted Mr T Coconut and Pineapple Icecream please? I want to know if it tastes nice :rotfl: serious question that is :cool:

    I also popped into town to SD nothing of interest there, waste of my time. It's a small store so they don't have a massive selection to choose from, therefore not often bargains to be had. Oh apart from the cheap deodorants I grabbed a few weeks back :D

    Hugs to the Elite poorly and those low in spirit, you're all in my thoughts today xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Snap, what a fantastic place to stay, and a four poster bed too :T. I couldn't thank you as button had gone, it's now back again but I can't quote :o

    Trust Fourp to be the twit sliding down the bannister, I bet he enjoyed it though :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope dad is getting on nicely with the antibiotics in hospital xx

    I was hoping sainsbobs had been missing me.

    Some S&S vouchers in the post, but obviously not missing me enough ... £3 off £40 or more :(:(

    As much use as the Waities £5 off £50.
