Quotes[edit]

  • Never go to a public lavatory in London. I always pee in the street. You may be fined a few pounds for committing a nuisance, but in a public lavatory you risk two years in prison because a policeman in plain clothes says you smiled at him.
    • as quoted by Diana Mosley (1985). Loved ones: pen portraits. Sidgwick & Jackson. p. 93.
