I stumbled down an unseen step in a church today...

It's not an argument - it is a light-hearted exchange!

God! Some people can argue over anything.

Some do, some don't - and certainly they did not used to do until a few years ago - many is the high note I have hit with a full bladder! Improves the tone I can tell you!

Then you know many of them now have loos, Luckygirl!

Liliygran - the answer to your question is yesterday. As a a singer I go to lots of churches.

Def improvement on having a blue Portaloo tucked round the corner of the south transept I would have thought!

When did you last visit a CoE church, Luckygirl? In spite of the inordinate cost of installing a loo in a Grade 1 listed 11th century building or something equally problematic, a lot of churches have done it. And perhaps the vicar wasn't so much trendy as defeated by there being no drains within half a mile of the building. Or the impossibility of digging up a 14th century floor. Or the inadvisability of disturbing the remains of the parish ancestors!

What a Cheapskate! We have one, its grand opening was only a year or so ago - but you can sit down on ours! The embarrassing part is asking for the key.

A local trendy vicar decided to install a composting toilet in a little shed behind a church - the opening is just a slit and is fine (or relatively) if you just want to pee ............ I will say no more!

Jingle Im surprised you didn't use the f word. You are improving.

Our local C of E church has one loo, so must buck the trend. It's in the dark depths beyond the altar, through changing rooms, behind screens, velvet curtains and the like. My DC always used to want me to take them after Sunday School, and I had to half close my eyes, in case I stumbled across one of the clergy or choir in a state of partial undress.

.......and no toilets! I always joke that you can tell a non-conformist church because their congregation is able to empty their bladders.

But I'm glad they don't

Wish it were true! But I'm always surprised more people don't sue; dark interiors, uneven steps, uneven paths, falling masonry......

I should sue - the C of E is awash in dosh!

jings

If I had fallen down Church steps maybe I would not have broken my arm so badly,well saved there jings you came off better than I did. lol.

You do make me laugh jingle. Hope you didn't hurt yourself .

Was it on here that I read there's a 'Stairway to Heaven' but a 'Highway to Hell'-does this reflect the numbers going in each direction?!?

I probably shouldn't laugh but I am!

At least you didn't shout, 'Holy S**t'

Three steps to heaven jings, watch out for the other two!

Perhaps it's a sign to you Jingl.

I'm sure God would have been very understanding, in the circumstances Might even have had a bit of a snigger...
