Welcome to Bathroom Blogfest (page 3)

A Story of an Engaged Customer and a Toilet Attendant
Today I wanted to talk about a bathroom that I visited several years ago - unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the family store in Devon, not because it wasn't memorable but because of my age!

The lady turned and said "My boss is a very strange man, he understands women!"
After laughing I asked "What do you mean?".....

Engaged - Meeting in Process!...More Bathroom Blogfests
