Do you mean “sinks” instead of “toilets”?
- jffry 3y agoMaybe "toilets" was meant more in the sense of "bathrooms"?
- sleepychu 3y agoThe toilet can mean the bathroom, at least where I'm from.
- indymike 3y agoThe toilet is in the bathroom where I live. Only the local rustics say warshroom.

- gadders 3y agoToilets are what Brits call the room that America's call a bathroom. I guess at least that has the virtue of the room actually having toilets in it and not baths.
- ipaddr 3y agowashroom is American but bathroom is Canadian
- PebblesRox 3y agoI've always heard and used bathroom as an American. Restroom is also used for public facilities that don't actually have bathtubs.
- ipaddr 3y agoIt might break down like pop/soda. Are you from a pop or soda state?
- PebblesRox 3y agoYeah, it probably depends on the region. My state is split down the middle and I'm in the soda half.
- pxc 3y ago'bathroom' is extremely common in the USA.
- zeven7 3y agoAnother lifelong American checking in with "bathroom". I've lived up and down the East coast, and "bathroom" would have been normal to hear anywhere, alongside "restroom". "Washroom" would be a very distant 3rd option.
- quietbritishjim 3y agoI'm a Brit (as my handle suggests) and technically I agree with your comment but if I read you can't drink "the water in the toilets" it sounds pretty literal even to me.
- oriettaxx 3y ago:) :) yes, of course
