Oh shit. Well that re-ignites my conspiracy mindedness. When I saw that it was an isolated road near a quarry I thought that maybe carelessness could have explained the blocked road. (“meh - fix the mess later. no one will be bothered”)
But if the quarry owner almost certainly blocked the road and is also the new owner? Yikes.
If not already clear, this comment was absolutely meant as a complement to you. I plan to teach this phrase to my continental coworkers when they visit us in the US next week. They’re always seeking ways to expand their English language skills.
And since they continue to challenge me about the acceptability (in US english) over the phrase “Ulrike washes her coffee cup in the toilet every day,” I think this is fair. We would accept: washroom, restroom, or bathroom without thinking twice. We might even pass over “in the shitter” and although it would be considered much less polite it would be excusable in a non-native speaker and probably not even noticeable in some of the more salty regions of the US.
“Washed it in the toilet…”
I do love language.
