ok... here's a NEW public toilet question.... where have you encountered the neatest or most unusual toilets? The bus station in Fethiye, Turkey; about ten years ago, so it may have changed. It was run by a wildly eccentric elderly couple who took fantastic pride in their loo. Aseptic enough to do brain surgery in it, flowers everywhere, and dozens of framed fan letters from all over the world on the walls. Not a public loo, but my "devotion to loo-cleaning beyond the call of duty" award goes to the supervisor when I worked as a cleaner in the Auckland central telephone exchange 30 years ago. The trick he recommended to me for dealing with those really stubborn stuck-on bits of **** was to use his fingernail. I can't recall if we shook hands when being introduced. East Lothian seems to have the cleanest public loos in Scotland. The absolute pits is the gents in Perth bus station; this is where Brian Souter's Stagecoach privatized bus empire started, and is only a few hundred yards from the church he goes to. (He and his co-owner sister are raving fundie homophobes who have pumped wads of their ill-gotten dosh into gaybashing political campaigns). As well as being dark and filthy beyond belief with most of the fittings broken, this loo has the densest collection of "I have eight inches, meet me here for cock fun at 3pm on Friday" graffiti I've ever seen. It might be interesting to correlate the times of the assignations with Church of the Nazarene services. Rutherford's Bar in Edinburgh is where Robert Louis Stevenson used to drink and presumably pee. The loo seems to be unchanged since he used it - like a big shower cubicle, with a tiled floor and a gutter round the edge. Marion here thinks the ultimate luxurious ladies' loo is the one in Gerbeaud's in Budapest (we were there in 1991, I doubt they've changed it). ======== Email to "j-c" at this site; email to "bogus" will bounce ======== Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/purrhome.html food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files and CD-ROMs of Scottish music. |
