	I'll probably get a warning for this but hay-ho it's late EU Directive No. 456179 In order to meet the conditions for joining the Single European currency, all citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland must be made aware that the phrase 'Spending a Penny' is not to be used after 31st December 2009. From this date, the correct terminology will be: 'Euronating'.

	Euronating: the act of (for women) standing in a line taking the minimum amount of toilet roll (there's none in the actual cubicle) before entering cubicle and taking a p*sh!! If, upon entering cubicle and taking up 'squatting' stance you realise you need more - tough!!!
