Just been to a newly renovated site and found new corporate signage adorns. We now have Americanisms with Bathrooms describing the facilities. Not a bath in sight!  What is so wrong with English English?🤣

    I expect a bath in a bath room.  Trade Descriptions Act looming methinks.

    I've used a family bathroom on a club site in the past and made a donation to the charity box in reception.  There are times when only a soak in a bath will do and only when it comes with a glass of bubbles.

    Regarding the 'Americanisms' though - I detest the use of the word 'utilise'.  What's wrong with just saying 'use'?
