London’s Best Toilets

I’m indebted to Time Out for this list.

I hadn’t realised that the Hunter S pub, had such novel toilets, which I think are featured in the photo in the article.

I have been to the pub, as it is the nearest to my house.  But I’ve not used the toilets as it is probably just as quick to walk back home and use one of my own.

It Was The Scousers That Nicked It!

Congratulations all round to Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port fsctory for getting the nod to manufacture the new Astra, as reported here.

Duncan Aldred, the chairman of Vauxhall, who had a lot of say in the decision, is not exactly a scouser, as he was born in Bolton, but then Aldred is quite a common surname in Liverpool and one of the Senior Lecturers in Engineering at Liverpool University in the 1960s was another of the clan. So one way or another the man who took the decision was on the payroll of the Scouse Army.

I suspect though, that one drink in the Phil was enough to get the Americans on his side, as who could resist a city and its workforce after seeing some of the best pub toilets in the world.

Free Toilets in Paris

Like many people of my age, I get taken short.  In London and many UK cities, public toilets are getting rarer and rarer, especially at night.

So it was good to see this in Paris.

Free Toilet in Paris

London should take note!
