The Britannia Panopticon was a word that I couldn't fathom or consciously remember with ease, and apparently I wasn't the first. When it acquired this moniker, Glaswegians couldn't pronounce it either, so began calling it "the pots and pans," which then evolved into "that potty place." Potty, of course, can mean one of two things:
1) a chamber pot for pissing in
2) someone who's quite mad!
More on the significance of urination later...
It took me a while to master the word, and until then I referred to it as:
1) The Pygmalion
2) The Porphyrian
3) The Papillion
4) The Pangolin
5) The Pornocopian
Come and take a look and I'll tell you why the three Ps are significant, show you where Stan Laurel first trod the boards and entertain you with details of the downstairs menagerie, include a married chimpanzee couple!
Don't forget to check out the blog I have put together about this interesting building. As you know, I will always be a writer before anything else!
