Today’s picture was taken in The Grand Hotel, Brighton.
Hmmmmm, not quite sure yet where this one will go

You have an upset tummy?
He he he

At a firm I used to work for, we had a couple of social events / xmas parties at the Grand Hotel. Even stayed there on one occasion. Got to like Brighton.
The prompt does seem a bit “Murder mystery”.
It’s a lovely, very English hotel isn’t it.
Lol, yeah, I guess so, but, im not gunna go down that route
Xx
It could be a different mystery then, like it is a “different” kind of powder room
He he he

The powder room dates back to the early 18th century, when it was a small room where people went to have their wigs re-powdered. In Victorian times, Ladies didn’t speak of bodily functions, especially in the company of men. If they wanted to go to the toilet they would say they were going to “powder their noses.” Today it’s the downstairs loo, with a hand basin to wash your hands.
Thanks Maddie
You learn something new every day, really interesting!
It’s the only place I’ve ever seen still using this kind of sign.

Naughty things when I shouldn’t. More than nose powdering happens in that room.
Ha ha ha, yeah, I bet you could come up with LOTS of scenarios CC
Xx
Well, I didn’t do it justice, but perhaps I’ll come back and explore it another way. It deserves a naughty romp, no?
It DEFINITELY deserves a naughty romp CC
Xx
Talc!
Nooooooo! *shudders* Not the talc!!!!!!

What if a guy accidentally wandered in there after getting the signs mixed up on his way to the loo (too much vodka at dinner)?
Ha ha ha, that would be funny!
Or what if he thought that’s where they were selling the white stuff?
Xx
Yea I think of a murder mystery somehow.
Miss Marple?
Xx
Yes. Thereabouts. Though I prefer Hercule Poirot
Ahhhhh, yes, More Orient Express, definitely
Xx
Ooh definitely a thriller or crime novel.
Would make a great title I think
Xx
Of all the euphemisms, “powder room” takes the cake. In today’s vernacular, powdering one’s nose does not refer to make-up. Does one rest in a “rest room”? Or bathe in a “bath room”? I’d love an honest sign like “crapper”, “excrement facility”, or a simple “potty room”.
And why is it called “the head” on a boat?
Look what your post did to me. I’m in a poopy state of mind.
Ha ha ha, excellent!

The first thing that comes to mind is a lady in a very expensive, very boring business skirt suit with red lace kicker and bra set underneath and wearing stockings, not pantyhose.
Ha ha ha LOVE IT!
