there are signs everywhere on vacant buildings and offices and houses. you know, spaces TO LET. i was so surprised i hadn't thought of it first when the monkey leaned over and asked me why the I had fallen out of of all the toilet signs.
i can't quite call them toilets, and i'm surprised at myself. i'm not really one for euphemism, but . . . it just seems so bald. like, "excuse me, where is the TOILET, because in case you were wondering i'm going to POOP in it."
i'm trying "loo," but i worry i can't carry it off. kind of like how the monkey keeps saying "quid" and i can't tell him how terribly, terribly wrong it sounds, like jaques chirac asking to buy some "chronic."
