So where do you bathe in your 'bathroom'? Irky pirky, cold baths!! No
problems peeing in the bath, then? That would warm it up. J
In my house, if people ask where the bathroom is, I tell them. If
they're lucky and they really wanted the toilet, they'll find it nearby.
If they ask for the restroom, I direct them to the bedrooms (again
nearby - 'tis a 3x1, after all) and ask them if they want something more
comfortable to slip into. Some of the blokes get a little disconcerted.
My ex's grandparents were Scots and probably older by far. (He's still
kicking at 110.) They always used to say 'toilet'.
Cheers,
Terry

In my household it has always been "bathroom" and never "toilet" or
"lavatory".
