This just in:

4 million toilets have brit-ophobia.

The NPS, which works with people affected by anxiety disorders, has classified the "secret" problem of toilet phobia as an anxiety condition in its own right and is launching a new campaign to help sufferers.

Well the new campaign ads should be interesting to see LOL!

Are you his fat wife?

I was wondering how long it would take you to find this one...

Of course the one item that raises a particular question is if people are too shy to seek help for this problem, how do you know there are 4 million of them?

The same folks counted 600,000 dead Iraqis and 11 million illegal US immigrants.

My spies are everywhere.

If they did a little further research I think they would find this is not a problem for homosexuals, they seem very comfortable with using their orifices.

Although they did forget the all-important "courtesy flush".

Hey Mr. Ivan, you really lucked out getting a conservative wife, and with such a great sense of humor to boot!

One wonders if Brits see more of him on BBC than Americans do on ABC.

[snugs]

I emphasize with this I am somewhat similar as well. Like you I will use the en-suite facilities at a hotel but nothing else.

[snugs]

So does snugs but then I would extend it to American ones as well.

In fact at least UK ones are at a reasonable height American ones are so low the first time I used one I nearly fell off it.

Could this have anything to do with the rise in the Muslim population in England? I understand that Muslims have some weird toilet habits too.

[snugs]

Thats cruel at least I pick them up and put them outside but I agree with bit about the muslims terrorists though

[OSHA]

men just go wherever there's a toilet - no shame, no embarrassment.

I was in France when I was a wee tyke, and of all the things there are to remember about France, I recall the public toilets the most. I remember asking my mom how people put up with that. Aside from the NYC subway, which is one giant toilet, public facilities in the US are pretty good.

Almost pinged you myself...

When see something within the NAPL or KPL mandates (or just interesting), please do - I need all the intel I can get.

My company has been selling to China for over 20 years and the stories that the commissioning engineers tell about the facilities there would make your hair curl.

The first plant they commissioned they had to build their own toilet block as the Chinese one was barely a hole in the ground and as for a building what building.

[snugs]

Compared with what some of our commisioning engineers had to put up in the sticks in the early days that would be luxury.
