The curious thing, Bzza, is thaT some of the U and non-U versions still have force among certain kinds of people. Toilet, for instance. And when you have your dinner. But since what everybody nowadays wants to be is working class, unlike middle class like thee and me, Bazza, the thing doesn't apply, except among very silly people. Who may well read the Speccie, I think.
Where do you suppose Dave goes for a pee. Lavatory? Toilet? Loo? In my youth I went to the kludgie, but not now. I fear it is lavatory. I very much fear it is.
What about the geography?
Incidentally, why do politicians all refer to 'a dog's breakfast'.Dogs don't have breakfasts. The phrase is surely 'a dog's dinner'.
