*Grumbles. Puts on her apron. Smearily adjusts her trifocals. Gets the broom, dustpan, mop, cleaning solvents, glass cleaner, paper towels, and two large bin bags. Grumbles. Goes into the Gents.

There are various sounds from within.

She emerges, dragging a heavily laden bin bag that has something Linus shaped struggling around inside it.*

There was a terrible pile of something on one of the toilets. I didn't want to look at it too closely, but I think I got most of it up. smiley - tongueout

I'll do the Ladies next, but first I need a cuppa. smiley - tea

More cakey than a biscuit. There are NO BLONDE brownies, btw. If you are ever served one it is ok to sneer at it.

Linus, whatever happened to The Church of the True Brownie, where you and I shared so many grand adventures, discovered the barfridge, and rode across Europe on elephants?? smiley - erm
