When I'm at someone's house and need to go
I ask for the 'loo'. 'Lavatory' or 'lav' sounds more common to me. Actually, a lot of U sounds rather impolite and common. 'what' instead of 'pardon', &c.

You should ask where the "shitter" or "crapper" is
but if you really like them then ask for the cludge.

What?

Ask where the 'council' is then start playing the spoons.

Yes.

That's because U is an outdated form of referral
also it shouldn't be what, I was always taught to say sorry, rather than pardon
