Da Dum... Da dum... da dum da dum da dum

Schools broke up just over a week ago (schools in England and Wales have their summer holiday from the third week of July to the first week of September, Scotland & N Ireland break up at the end of June with Scotland returning to school in late August).

I've been nervously awaiting the return of the inquisitive-kids patrol for the last week-and-a-half. Each day I've breathed a sign of relief that they haven't turned up. The lorry driver who delivered the fresh portaloo today indicated that our respite would probably be short-lived. He lives in the village and apparently the kids have gone on a school-organised holiday trip to France. They'll be back next week... (cue Jaws music).

The portaloo is a luxury version. It's not just a chemical toilet - it has plumbing, with a proper hand basin in the loo section, not just sanitiser spray. It has a shower section, too. Which is probably why it isn't labelled "portaloo" as normal. It isn't marked "toilet" either. Or even "W.C.". No, this version is as euphemistically labelled as is possible. It's called a "Welfare Unit". I swear, we're getting as bad as the USA for this kind of thing. I mean, when you're hunting round the airport looking for the ladies loo, who the hell would think to follow the signs to a "comfort station"!!

Livejournal seems to be working properly again, so there's a decent lot of stuff to read tonight. There'll be even more tomorrow I should imagine since I do the "G" sections... Enjoy your updates for tonight.
