Public toilets
 

Ok more are set to close 'cos councils cannot afford then (but they can afford bosses on £200k and hundreds of non-jobs like bouncy castle officer).

Seems like this was once a sign of Britain being a civilized country unlike 3rd world places where people **** on the street.

Partly the fault of the EU with legislation forcing public bogs to be "accessible". It's far easier and cheaper to close them than to make them "accessible". :(

I agree with the OP - Public Loos should remain ... as long as we have £300k a year Mickey Mouse Council Chiefs then they should stay!!

At my age you really need to plan your days out with reference to the availability of Toilets.

I say get the local shops to pay for them - as a collective charge it shouldn't be too much - OR charge us 20p for using them.

The UK has got all of its priorities wrong at the moment.

So, they close public toilets because they can't afford them, yet, they can afford to house scroungers with loads of kids in massively expensive properties :confused:
I give up

So Tony, where are you going to go cottaging now? ;)

What's cottaging?

Scoobynet - NSR?

Didn't realise you two were so "close" ..... :thumb:

As for public loos, if they're going to keep them open they could at least keep the damn things clean!

Dave

more supermakets now , wont help Tony mind

Here's a clue - George Michael will be equally as upset as you about the news...

Who's actually uses public loo's?

Our local one has uv lighting to stop smack heads.

How does that worK?

"apparently" can't find their veins

Cool.

I cannot remember the last time i used a public toilet, usually there is a shop with a loo or a phone box near by

People on water tablets. Basically thats anyone over the age of 55 these days :freak3:

And trust me if you know someone who is on them and they need to "go" they have to "go" and finding a bog or one that someone will let you use is a right pain. No other EU country is like this.

With all these massive council cut being made, I suspect the % proportion of its officials are Labour afiliated and are using these cuts to intentionally cause dissention within the electrorate.

It intersting to note that it seems to be the labour councils (or ex labour) that are making the big songs and dances about these cuts and always annoucing cuts in front line services or staff....but as TDW say, if you look at the wages and perks of the top-level staff, why are they not cutting at the top? Be it wages or non-Jobs. Its obvious they protect their own and will shaft anyone working "beneath" them.

You can always have a McSh*t with Lies (C) :D

Shop loos are just as dirty in the main. But I'd never resort to peeing in a phone box ... http://www.brysoneducation.org/dep/i...hone_box_b.jpg ... that's just weird ... :nono:


You mean the leftie councils might be trying to make political capital out of the situation rather than have the interests of their electorate at heart? I'm shocked, no, I'm shocked and stunned that you could think such a thing .... :eek:

Dave

ALi-B has it right regards water tablets for the older person ...... it is a right royal pain in the rearend trying to find a loo which is open.

Most shop loos now have signs saying 'Closed due to vandalism' ....

It's about time we came down hard on anti-social behaviour rather than letting the little scrotes off!! But, I'm afraid the Tories are weak on crime - so there is every chance it will all get worse!

Yes, annoys me and I am a bloke and the world is my toilet :D worse for ladies, peopel with kids and those with issues in that department.

I think half the problem is money and councils but the rest is us, the public and what filthy perverted animals we have amongst us, toilets seem tto attract junkies, sexual deviants and people who like writing their name with their own poo, there is no concept of leaving it as you found it, shame for those of us who just use them as intended, i.e. about 99 percent.

Can't say I've ever had call to use one.
With the plethora of Starbucks etc, is there any real need?

Thats what you want , cant hide too many cottagers in there

I sympathise with your sentiments.

I still have not forgotten standing at a bus stop in Khatmandu when a women lifted her sari, had a dump in the gutter, and carried on waiting for the bus standing by the steaming pile!

Doubt it would reach that extent over here, but there will be a lot of pissing in shop doorways etc.

It's a pain in the butt for me. Mostly down to having two young children with me on 'days out' finding a public toilet is a nightmare.

I once asked if my daughter could use the staff toilet in boots as there were no public loos anywhere. The assistant said no.

So, I picked up a potty, a pack of maternity pads and some nappy bags,(which I bought) and sat her down right there and let her do a wee. I threw in a pad (which soaked up the wee) and then double bagged it. I had one customer make a complaint about it being 'unsanitary', despite the fact you can drink you ows piss, and the assistant tried to give be a bollocking.
So I explained that it was this, or let her use the toilet, and that the
third option would have resulted in her peeing all over the floor. I simply took the most suitable option.

Yeah right the reason all these toilets are closing is because the council cannot afford to keep repairing the glorholes you drill in every lav you visit.

Paul in the public loos spotted earlier :lol1::

Well if your mum was fitted with a matress and pay-as-you go meter then that would fund the repairs and probably the street-lighting budget outright!;)

Ooooh I say!

Les ;)

Gays traditionally used public toilets for sex because there was nowhere else to go in the days before gay bars etc, plus arguably gay men naturally like risky sex with strangers but now I guess they have gone straight with gay marriage etc.:lol1:

our local council in a effort to save money lock all public crappers at 7pm , good effort but the bellends leave the light on inside :cuckoo::cuckoo:

What happens if you are suffering a bad bout of 'brown water' at 18:59?
