I am in the UK, and where I live it's usually toilet or loo. I prefer lavatory, though.

I was taught not to mention it at all if possible. So when you knew where the facilities were located you simply said, "Excuse me"
I you need directions you could discretely inquire where the "ladies room" was.

I live in the UK. Most places i go out just have a sign saying 'toilets' and an arrow pointing the direction or something.
Toilet is seen as a polite word here and most common really.

In public you'd say you needed to go to the Ladies or Gents, depending on your gender. At home you'd say Bathroom. Or in either case, just toilet.

Southern California - The Bathroom or the Rest Room
by Teresa on October 8th, 2009
The most polite term would probably be the ladies' room or mens' room. But washroom or bathroom are more common and they're considered polite. And there's plenty of other things people say, like facilities, toilet, loo isn't rude but I'd only say it in casual company.
I live in Toronto, Canada.

In normal conversation I usually say "bathroom," but if the situation calls for a bit more formality, I use "rest room," "wash room," or "mens/ladies room."

Where did "should of" come from? How can anybody confuse "have" and "of"? They don't even have any letters in common.
