The only way to go the toilet when you were in an air raid shelter would be to use a bucket separated by a curtain. Although it was really unpleasant, you were just relieved to be out of the bombing.
I remember one day, a Chartered Accountant, who was beautifully dressed, with a bowler hat, lent on the curtain, fell backwards into the bucket - his legs and briefcase flying everywhere!
It's a vision I've never forgotten!
