    In my local, my girlfriend hates when the village dimwit Jack is in the womens' peering over the stalls with his camera, so when she shouts "Jack!" from the toilets we all laugh at Jack in the jacks.

    The powder room.

    Even though I heard a lass announce recently to her friend that she was ‘going to the shïtters to wet me beard’.

    Extremely crude.

    The Chicago Pizza Pie Factory in St Stephen's Green used to call their toilets the Elton John and the Olivia Newton John.

    Don't think I've ever called it The Jacks.....
    I refer to it as the lavatory or powder room.....very posh here in the Midlands :D



    Ah no, I simply refer to it as the loo.

    I really, really hate places that give 'witty' names to their loos.

    Worse still, places that use pictures on the signs that you need to be a cryptographer to decipher.

    Your latter observation a million times over! Nothing worse than dying for a tinkle only to have to jig the spot while trying to guess what weird silhouette best fits your gender. Probably the same places that serve you food on a dustpan.

    Oh yeah and another thing.. if im blind how am I supposed to know where to go pee? Touch the wall until I feel a urinal?

    They are the same places that serve you your dinner on a slate and your drink in jam jar :mad:

    I returned to Ireland aged 18 after having left as a toddler. One night when faced with Fir and Mná I reasoned at least the latter appeared to be an anagram of Man and opted for that....

    CPs nightclub in Galway, which I assume is long gone, had just an F and an M on the doors of the jacks. And of course all the non-gaeilgoirs and tourists incorrectly assumed it was Male and Female.
