    London toilets

    One of these days I'm going to be surprised by a pub/cafe toilet in London that doesn't stink, doesn't have blockages and is fairly hygenic. No wonder people are prepared to pay 50p here to "spend a penny".
    Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on Twitter

    Isn't it the same anywhere in the UK?

    Couldn't get used to the hole in the floor still be found in some places in France.

      Surprisingly Wetherspoons have a good toilet reputation. Apart from those in London of course...

      They always say you should check the conveniences first when you're checking out a new eating/drinking place. "They" may be right!

        Pubs / restaurants could learn something about toilet hygeine from the supermarkets.

            I used one of them while in France recently. Everyone can see you when you wee. There was no toilet paper, nor a sink to wash your hands.

            The lack of a toilet seat was a useful learning experience for me though. Having been faced with seeing my doings, to ascertain my aim (pretty good given the lack of practise), I discovered why I was getting such short notice between wanting to use the loo and being desperate to use the loo. I had been starting to get concerned about this. It turns out that a cow-pat consistency causes more desperation for the loo and shorter notice period than for a normal poo. I don't know what causes the cow-pat consistency though. French food I think.

                I would agree with that. If they have spent money to remodel the lavs it's a good sign that they have gone for a bit more than a surface makeover and have invested in creating an all-round ambience of quality.

                The top notch places have bathrooms to match, but they might not get filed under pub/cafe.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Been in a few places in Vietnam where the squat toilet was pretty much in the kitchen.

                  Mind you, I did pass a full bowl of undigested food in Hue station one time.
