Having a toilet in a bathroom is council.
Sorry, what? And again, what?Are you one of those weirdos who has a tiny toilet room next to a perfectly good bathroom? Or worse, a tiny toilet room with no sink next to a perfectly good bathroom?
A toilet in the bathroom makes perfect sense when you want to "S,S,S" without having to traipse across the house inbetween!
Note to the apostrophe pedants. I have no idea how to pluralise that one.
And just in case you're wondering why.... Something like 60% of toothbrushes have trace amounts of the first S on them from people flushing with the lid up.
Its like the weirdos who have a washing machine / tumble dryer in the kitchen. Why do people want their freshly cleaned clothes smelling of food? Just strange and something you'll typically only find in the UK.

We have a utility room for the washing machine and tumble dryer, but not sure what the problem of having a washing machine in the kitchen is? The clothes are isolated from the rest of the kitchen in the drum and you just take them out when the cycle is finished to hang out or tumble dry.
Can I confuse you even further? We bought a new tumble dryer a couple of years ago and it's in our cold study. We heat the study with the vent the tumble dryer and it's lovely and toasty.

Toilet nerd alert: Older toilets perform a cascade flush that creates a waterfall effect creating the undesired effect of poop particles in the air. Modern toilets now create an initial wall of water to envelope the toilet water and are less flushy.
Interesting. I wasn't aware but even so the smell....... whilst having a bath..

We have the washing machine etc in a utility room too and it's mainly to avoid having cooking smells getting into wet fabric when you take the washing out of the drum Can I confuse you even further?

Yes. We have toilet rooms (with sinks, towel rails and towels) which are separate from the bathroom. Who on earth wants to smell the first S whilst you're doing the second and third S's'?
But for the eleventy billionth time, council is not about one's financial circumstances. Council is being crass, uncouth, careless, ill mannered etc. I would suggest that having separate toilet rooms from bath/shower rooms is largely just about whether you want that setup and can afford a house large enough to accommodate it, but is no indicator of councilness.

How pungent are the aromas in your kitchen that they fix into the damp fabric in the ~30 seconds it takes to transfer laundry from washing machine to whatever method* you use to dry it?!*I anticipate howls of 'washing lines are council', but I feel the contrary is true (wasting energy; council), though this very much depends on the nature of the washing line and its location.

Correct, but with the base realisation that EVERYTHING is council in the right surroundings and company.I would suggest that having separate toilet rooms from bath/shower rooms is largely just about whether you want that setup and can afford a house large enough to accommodate it, but is no indicator of councilness.

Good point, well made. I'll go first:
"I pour crisps into a bowl and eat them from the bowl like a cat or dog, because I don't like getting the oily crisp/flavour on my fingers.

Agreed. I bet you there is something that we do, consciously or subconsciously, that is Council.

I'm not sure thats council behaviour, thats just odd behaviour!I'll go first:

Do you do this in public, like in a pub? At the bar?

Ah but, in contrast, you're missing out on the delightful flavour of your morning Kellogs Pop Tarts imbued with a subtle hint of LenorRustyMX5 said:

I viewed a house once that had a toilet in the master bedroom. There was a small wash basin next to it. Struck me as rather odd they didn't make it into an small en suite as the room was quite large.CardinalBlue said:
