History is intersting, and often surprising! I always thought the restroom was the area with the seating, not the actual loo cubicles.
No chatting or hiving in the bathroom for me, the wifi for some reason doesn't work there, and I'm one of the 10 people on this planet who doesn't have a phone. I don't need one. I sometimes bring the iPad and read a few pages of an already downloaded book though. But never in the bath! Old paperbacks that I don't mind if they get wet is the only bath reading.
