- I guess it's probably a bit unusual but my parents' house in Brighton
- also has three toilets. One downstairs, one in the bathroom and another
- in the shower room. It's a reasonable size semi-detached house, nothing
- out of the ordinary.
-
- You soon learn the benefits of multiple toilets or having separate
- bathroom/toilet when living in a shared house with four or five others.
- Especially when you return after a couple of swift halves [sic.] down
- the boozer, bursting for a pee, only to find some inconsiderate sod
- happily ensconced in a warm tub for the duration!
