I remeber back in the 70s waiting outside a "Portaloo" and hearing 2 teenage girls singing the Abba song "Waterloo" - replacing the words "Portaloo" for "Waterloo" - It was quite a laugh for a young lad like me at the time.

I can imagine Napoleon meeting his match in one of these things - struggling due to his short stature to keep the door closed and maintain aim, slipping on the wet floor. While Wellington next door in his wellies, is dry and happy firing off volley after volley. All to the strains of Tchaikovsky punctuated by the loud gun blasts of the Prussian artillery on the other side (it was sauerkraut, wurst and beer for dinner).

(I'm having a grumpy day, can you tell?)
