Questions for our British friends
1. This may seem like a weird question to ask on a porn -- er, I mean erotica -- forum, but what is meant by the phrase "made my toilet"? This pops up frequently in the Flashman novels (set in Victorian times), i.e. "The butler came in and made my toilet".
2. What exactly is meant by the phrase "Wednesday week"? Do people say "Tuesday week' or "Thursday week"?
3. What is a bank holiday?
4. If private schools are called "public schools", what are public schools called?
