Ours is the Loo, Our grandchildren call it the toilet,generally it’s can I use your toilet nannie, when I was growing up my grandparents called it the lavatory and it was down the garden, it was one of my earliest memories I was around 4
I have always hated the word lavatory. I think it's because, when I was growing up, we had smelly public toilets in our town, with a sign, Gent's lavatory. All sorts of unsavoury people hung about there, so it was eventually closed town.
it was the bathroom when we were wee,there only was one in the house.Now its the loo, hate the word Lavatory reminds me of an old Nun in high school who was very posh and refused to answer if someone stuck their hand up and asked to be excused to use the loo or toilet..she would have let us wet our pants rather than allow us out without saying Lavatory
It's the loo in our house. My mother always called it the toilet but I never liked it. GC's tend to say toilet but unlike you trendienannie they never ask to use it. Just go in then come out leaving the light on and the hand towel on the floor!
