Since they did a reconstruct of the town centre, I don't know where anything is.
When I was in the toilet, a message came over the tannoy about an incident in the lift.
I wondered if Glenn Close and Michael Douglas were in there.
Keep an eye on my blog from now. Some good content going out. |

Might be one of the reasons this PLC has become the most successful pubco in the UK.
Unlimited refills of good coffee, as well.
I am very grateful to Wetherspoons etc for allowing non customers to use the toilets, but pubs and betting shops are not ideal for (some) ladies on their own, or children.
Thinking about it, I do alter my walking route, or cut it short, so I can buy unwanted pepsi in cafes, just to use the toilet. Unfortunately, most are shut by 3pm.
There is an interesting exhibition about the lack of women's toilets for Victorians.

You'd think it would be an essential public service to have public toilets. Those in my town closed down years ago. One would think that it might also help high street shops get trade rather than people staying at home and using the internet when they know they can nip to the loo whenever they like. |

I dont very often go into town centre, but I went recently and I was glad to get home.
After attending my meeting . I made my way to the bus stop. About halfway there I needed the toilet so I remembered there were some public toilets. Nope! Not any more. So I ventured into Macdonalds and got to the toilet to find a keypad with a note saying 'Please use the code on your receipt to access the toilets.
I was going to get something to eat after, but I thought balls to them and the queue and where do I put my food whilst I'm in the toilet?
Then, I ventured through the shopping area just looking for a cafe or anything with a toilet and food. In the end I thought sod it, I'll ask the nearest person to me. A guy was sat in his wheelchair eating his grub so I said " "Hi, is there any public toilets around here any more?"
He said "I don't know because I don't use toilets, I've got a bag look. Then he pulled his colostomy bag round from behind his back. I said "sorry mate, but I've just been in Macdonalds and you have to buy food to use the toilets, I can't believe my luck" he started laughing, so I stayed and had a chat with him then went on my way.
Of all the people I could have asked!
I found a toilet in the end, got some food and couldn't wait to get home.
Today, a maintenance man was telling me about a toilet unblocking job he did and said it was caused by a King Edward.
I said " Who chucked a potato in the toilet?"
He said "No. A King Edward...a turd."
Doh!
I don't know what that council spend their money on, but it's certainly not toilets! |
