Toilets??? what are those. Wait.... you don't have it surgically removed over there yet, eh? :lol:

Seriously however, Janitor is the US term for Toilet Attendant.

We have janitors clean the toilets along with the rest of the buildings periodically over here. Nobody specializes in bathrooms only.

Now hold on Ante mate, why should we be expected to work or stop being the way we are? "Now no-one's saying the Chatsworth Estate is the Garden of Eden, at least, i dont think they are.... but it's been a good home to us, to me Frank Gallagher and me kids." (14 of them all kept by state benefits) All right il admit that we're all a bit rough around the edges and youd get stabbed here as soon as look at you and that that in common with 'social security' kept areas all over the UK my gang would rather die than do an honest day's work "But all of them, to a man, know first and foremost, one of the most vital neccesities in this life, is they know how to throw a paaarrrty!! !! :D

Oh and I'm trying to find a job, but the prospects in the area were destroyed more than a decade ago by the Clinton administration's policies. Right now I do freelace computer repair because I wouldn't be caught dead on welfare.


So you earn a little pocket money but your not exactly standing on your own two feet are you? Wait until your parents take the stabilizers off you before condemning the poor, lots of whom dont have parents in which they can rely on. What if you cant get a job or your cp gets worse and your parents cant help, youll need welfare then to survive.
