Sounds like a TV sitcom, doesn't it?

It reminds me of a naughty song well known in the UK,
which I have adapted here:

Oh dear, what can the matter be?
David Leggat was locked in a lavatory,
He's been there from Tuesday to Saturday
Nobody knew he was there!

It seems he is not the only person this has happened to.
Here is a 77-year-old lady in Pickering, Yorkshire. The written report is pretty funny, and this one's on video too, in the actual toilet!
Note the Yorkshire accents:

By the way, the cleaning lady was fired.
