Purely FYI: 'Toilet' was one of the words denounced by Nancy Mitford as non-U {she preferred 'lavatory' & is also said to have popularised, if not coined, 'loo', tho she would I believe countenance such old usages as 'privy' or 'water closet'}; along with 'serviette' {for which the U is 'table napkin'}.

God knows why, & as if anybody gave a flying -ah - copulation!
