   As I understand it .. .cloakroom in England means, or used to mean … washroom. So … imagine the confusion…

   Maybe Verne will appear on New Adventures of Queen Victoria.
   She definitely will not be amused!

   She does. Buck house is her main residence. The Royal standard flies when she is in residence.

   The trouble with England is that there are so many names for a washroom. But a cloakroom is usually a place to hang up whatever kind of outer apparel you may have been wearing.

   What an odd coincidence…in the U.S., Royal and Standard companies both manufacture ablutionary & eliminatory appliances.

   We have a rather nice church in my city that’s about 100 years old (quite old, by local standards), with a “Ladies’ Cloakroom” in the basement that has a row of coat hooks, a long mirror and counter, a sink, and two toilet stalls. The toilet stalls have marble dividers, so I assume they are original, since the more recent additions to the church seem to have been designed with economy in mind (including a much larger but drab and less popular women’s washroom).

    I thought Verne wanted to go some where warm for his vacation. What does that have to do with England??
    And, by the way, how did Verne even find a place in England where the plumbing actually worked?

    We do not know the plumbing worked, sounds like it was stopped up.

    Imagine Verne soaking in a bidet. What a visual.
    Best laugh of the day.

    There was a Sunday talking heads show called the “Capital Cloakroom.”
