    Spending a penny is a common phrase in the U.K. it comes from the days when you had to put a 1 penny coin in a slot to open the toilet door!

    Heres one to try get a pencil cut to a long point then with the edge of a sharp knife scratch the side of the graphite (lead) over a piece of paper and collect the granite dust. When u have a few pinch fold the paper and use it to funnel the dust into the squeaky area. Works on stiff locks as well

    In the UK if you wanted to us the public toilets you used to have to put a penny in to open them. So it became a saying to go to the toilet "I am going to spend a penny".

    I'd use it at a football match , grab the ball and put in the opposition net . There were some interesting hair colours turning up when this was made which might have given them the idea . Classic Two Ronnies . "Spend a penny" in conversation is a less embarrassing way of saying you needed the loo .

    30 seconds is not really long enough to do much. Re spening a penny (going to the toilet), two Swedish hitchhickers in England were asked why they were hitchhiking and in all innocence they said "It is the quickest way to get from A to B without spending a penny". (they meant money).
