    There's a good girl. Now be a poppet and put the kettle on. Tea, no sugar.

                Ah, that'll be one of those "differences" I was on about enjoying earlier: ladies' loos are generally OK, whether or not the rest of the place is nice. Although one phenomenon you wont be familiar with that's peculiar to that environment is sanitary bins. I worked in a place that used automatic ones, with a little sensor that lifted the lid when you had a 'deposit' to make. Unfortunately, the cubicles were very small and the sensors were a little over-sensitive. It was like sitting next to a haematological version of Oscar from The Muppets.

                    Oh dear!

                    Though there have been some places of work where the ladies loos are better left unused.
