Some of those squatting ones in France are absolutely revolting! I would rather wet my pants! And how are you supposed to manage when wearing trousers? Nowhere to put them in the unclean French ones! |

At last a really important thread. One of our most basic needs. And if we get more integrated with Merkelland, will we have these squatty things at side of our roads. My poor daughter in Normandy some years ago when she was 10 - she was desperate. But - constipation in continent :-( :-( :-( Will it spread to UK? |

The company i worked for when the mass influx of migrant labour arrived decided it a good idea to get rid of local employees in favour of the new cheap labour, Before they arrived the works tiolets where spotless 24/7 |

Had to use these in France...but the worst ones Ive ever come across have been in Morocco....filthy...and charged 2 euros for the privilege. |

Yup! Although the town of Esperance itself, at the moment, has nothing to recommend it. It seems that the whole town is being redeveloped in one hit. The foreshore is supposed to be completed in Autumn, but I wouldn't bank on it. |

The UK is a nation that relies heavily on tourism & a huge important part of that is our public toilets & seaside resorts. We need to act as a nation & safeguard both of these facilities for years to come. |
