Faggot can also mean a stick of 'fat wood' used as a torch or to light a fire.

Loo/vs bathroom--usually our toilets, washing up sinks and bathtubs are all in the same room. In public toliets (almost always free) you only get a toilet and a hand washing sink.

While we're on it, where did 'toff' come from? Means same as 'posh' I believe.
