In a newspaper article last week it was reported that the British Toilet Association has given out their "Loo of the Year" awards in their national competition. Proud recipients of four-star ratings were the Yeovil Bus Station and the Yeovil Recreation Ground. There was a photo of the toilet cleaners from one of the winning locations! (Does the U.S. have such a competition?? I don't think I have ever seen anything about it in the Ft. Worth Star Telegram......)
Also, in the same paper there was an article intitled "Keeping the Youngsters Kitted Out". It was about a football club donating football kit to children in Kenya.
I looked up the word "kit" , and one of the many meanings , which is mainly British, is "gear".
On another note, we did get to go to the British Museum in London this past week-end. More to follow about that tomorrow.....

We have pictures of a "Loo of the Year" award that was on display in the bathrooms at the London Tower. Too funny!!
Toilets made the news here lately when they announce that New York City had installed a pay toilet. You put in a quarter and get 15 minutes. When times up...the door automatically opens!! Yikes! It's just out in the middle of where everyone is walking to work.
Does Webster put out a British version of their dictionary?
