Somewhere else you're not going to be invited back to, Roger.

If they were that nice why wouldn't you?

Actually I didn't get very far before I had to explain to them that if they wanted me to sit down then they should have asked me to sit down instead of telling me to take a seat - I think I made my point with them and have been invited back.

Bathroom instead of toilet. Do they really want a bath?

The local Homemaker Centre in Penrith has a large sign pointing to the Bathrooms.

Slightly off topic, but I came across something from QI which I enjoyed recently:

Stephen Fry makes reference to the fact that, in some quarters, "Third World Country" is now not considered an acceptable term.

As he asks what might now be considered by many people to be more suitable, Alan Davies says qucikly "Vibrant Tourist Destination".

"Reality" TV!

Damn if that is reality or even close to anything like it, then I prefer my unreal unscripted and unedited existence...

Well since you were already standing you were half way there with your posture.. A few more paces & you were gone. Shame really, it probably would have looked quite nice in your gaff/conservatory.
