52 year old American here. Never heard this slang, despite watching tons of British TV/movies and visiting England twice in my life.

Learn something new every day. Today is my birthday, and I mark my 52nd year by learning that bog is slang for toilet in England.

Not just in England, but the whole of the UK and Ireland also, It's vulgar slang, but is still extremely common. you might hear "He's in the bog", or "Where's the bog?" etc. but is only really used amongst people you're very familar with. Also, Happy Birthday!
