Problems

Getting "caught short" has always been a fear, particularly as I age and the prostrate enlarges, and when the sign implies a major trek to find the loo it is somewhat worrisome.
Alice is even more concerned as she does suffer from a fairly regular need to go, as indeed do many ladies, I understand. Mind you, this lady will not get relief by lying down, rushing (even with legs wound around themselves) would surely be preferable?
Or perhaps she is resting near to this type of loo until she is wholly convinced that no intruding male is likely to be around.

After all if you are heavily engaged upon some action then interruptions are not at all welcome. However personally I would be far more likely to be clutching a book than a shoe, but each to their own as I so often say. And what a sweetheart Millie was, why can I not find my old albums of hers?
