My British grandparents came to America in 1952 to live with us and I was mostly raised by them when my mom went back to work in Manhatten.

I was always taught to say "I have to spend a penny" when I had to pee. Seems that this was the cost in the coin toilets in the UK and well brought up people would never say anything so crude as "I have to make pee pee"
