Hi thom.

Having the two in the same room does occur here as well in various places 
(my bedroom here at uni for example), but the two things would stil be 
referred to separately ie:

"where's your loo?"
"in the bathrom"

also, having a separate room just containing a toilet is fairly common in 
most houses over here.

I think it probably comes from the days when people had outhouses, ----- and 
in some more raural parts of England, that only stopped in the 1970's.

it's only when this sort of thing comes up that I actually realize how 
different Us English and Uk English actually are. Once I tried to write a 
story entirely in Us English and found it extremely difficult from the 
number of grammatical diffferences and other expressions.

One particular trouble I always have relating to audio games, is that "Sod" 
is a minor swearword (particularly in the Midlands and Yorkshire I think). 
It's quite odd for me to here people calling a game something that my mum 
would say if she stubbed her toe, ;D.

Beware the Grue!

Dark.
