5 quid for a wee?

I wondered how long this venture would last, too. I mean, it’s not like Oxford Street is short of places to go when you’re caught short – all those department stores and McDonalds/Starbucks! Maybe I’m just stingy, but it’d have to be one hell of an ‘experience’ to justify the price.

That’s what I think too, babybat. It’ll be interesting to see if it makes it to a year old – I’m being cynical and saying probably not …

You do realise bronzed eunuchs suck on peppermints and blow across your nethers to ease any burning when you pee? They don’t come cheap you know. Well, they don’t come at all, but that’s by-the-by.

Bloody hell, that sounds marvellous. That burning’s getting to be a real problem.

According to their website – for a fiver you get to piss along to the sound of lounge music and the aroma of fresh flowers PLUS a hand massage or mini makeover. For a quid you just get to piss in a nice toilet.

Is it only a quid now? Ha ha!! What a fucking stupid idea that was. Unless it’s got those super-duper Japanese loos which wash and dry your nethers while stroking your hair and telling you what a wonderful person you are. I would be happy to pay for a go on one of them.

I want to try one like this fabulously rich bloke on the telly had, it not just buffed his nethers it blow-dried them too. I can’t find any catalogue, but I think they were made by a company called “Rebecca”.

Ho ho ho. Very good, Mockernee.

AV: there’s a restaurant on Heddon Street (I think – I was a bit drunk) where they play I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue at you in the loos. Now that I wouldn’t mind paying a fiver for.

This article (via Londonist) suggests that we do have far too few toilets in the city (not that you didn’t already know that…)

Apparently:

“In Beijing, where the average salary is a 10th of London’s, there are 7,700 toilets, or one for every 1,948 people. China’s capital plans to renovate 3,700 in time for the 2008 Olympics. London, which will host the 2012 games and has one toilet per 18,000 residents, has no such plans.”

Looks to me like getting the rich out of the queues won’t be enough to solve this problem.

I found this bit of the article particularly interesting, HLV:

‘The Disability Act, which came into force in 2004, requires that public toilets be accessible to wheelchair users or have suitable alternatives nearby. Rather than invest in ramps and elevators, some authorities have shut or sold older restrooms.’

They recently rebuilt a toilet block in the Lambeth park we play football in, but it’s been chained up everyday since.

The worst idea is the open air urinals around Covent Garden. I’m not coy, indeed my hectocotylus is the envy of many, but really, it ain’t on, not when you could be in the company of muslim women, or drunken oafs who think it’s a laugh to bundle you, or simply someone who notices there’s nowhere to wash your hands after and you’re sharing their popcorn. Equally distasteful troughs at Vauxhall, on a traffic island with bus passengers passing on all sides, lovely.

Noticed in Soho a year or so back: a bloke pissing on the railings next to the open air urinals. Was that you making a protest, Mockernee?

No chance, the pavements are filthy round there, I’d catch something.

Mockernee: I just looked up ‘hectoclytus’. You are a blue-ringed octopus aicm £5.

Floatykatia, it’s The Living Room where they play that – always end up staying far longer than necessary in there listening to it!

He he – yeah, I did too, Shony. Thanks for reminding me of the name of the place.
