Such an interesting history of the loos and how it's role in society and with its users has evolved, Lizzie
Luckily my loo time is exactly what its meant to be, but I do know some of my girlfriends use that precious time as their haven or even extend the time inside to get away from their kids!!
Loos certainly have evolved over the ages, our ancestors did not have it so easy!
LOL, maybe I'm hiding from the world when I sit on that throne at times :)
