Yeah, it's been long since established that they have indoor
loos.  I was just wondering whether there would be one or more
near the ballroom or not, and if people who had ballrooms had
bathroom arrangements especially for that.

Sadly, I have seen (and suffered through) loo queues at house
parties!  However, there was a lot more beer at that party than
there is going to be at this one.
