I spent some of my childhood traipsing round the world after my father
who was a (British) Naval Officer: Shetland Isles, Hong Kong, Wei Hai
Wei and New South Wales.
I later went to Malta and again to NSW.
I think we'd better draw this private discussion to a tidy close, or
some of those transatlantic cousins will be castigating us for
off-topicness! :-)

Where I was it was called a "Dunny"!!!
Note to Barb Mallut et cetera - <grin, duck and run again!>
Sic transit gloria mundi!
which is rather dog-latin, but it'll serve a purpose.
Best wishes, Jeremy B - now repatriated Brit!
PS I think my latin tag means
"the car isn't working but it's gloriously muddy"!
