- I had considered saying something like: just don't get him
- started on the necessity of having loo brushes (we call this
- the bowl brush over here) that match the decor of the
- particular bathroom. But I decided this might seem like too
- much teasing, which could lead the remark astray. I don't
- think I ever told you that many people here are just as
- insistent on this matter, btw.

- >"hoover(tm)" as a verb?
-
- Au contraire, I was currying favor by using it in what I was
- assured is the accepted fashion on your side of the pond.
-
