Rapid relief now at hand in Westminster?

Spending a penny in London’s Westminster City Council area has just been made more convenient.

For 25p a shot, a new mobile phone service – dubbed SatLav – will steer unenlightened shoppers, workers, tourists (and, of course, others seeking rapid relief) towards their nearest WC on the block.

By texting the word ‘toilet’ to 80097, a prompt will be sent with details of the closest facilities and their opening times.

Do you say this taking technology to a fine new level or should such a piddling service be well and truly panned?

I originally misread this as “mobile hand relief” which obviously made me prick up my ears. Then I misinterpreted it as mobile relief as in wees on wheels. Then I realised that it was actually a story recycled from Metro and that pissed me off.

Apart from the idea that – if you’re desperate for a piss – you’re going to have the time and werewithal to text something somewhere and be able to wait for instructions, what’s the charge going to be once you get there? Will there be volume discounts? Will #1s be cheaper than #2s?

Then let’s pray there are non-Metro-reading FCLers among us who get more of a rise out of reading this.

I wonder if this SatLav tells you whether or not the bloddy conveniences are actually open...

Just so’s you know, the Mods added the urine tag to this thread. I’d never come out with such a word in real life…

DK: I grew up in good ol’ Clapham and, much to my everlasting disappointment, never once had cause to use the Common loos at the tube.

Do you think these SatLav things would also have an option for cottaging?

cf: numerous postings in threads previously. PT tries to retire gracefully…

Nearest WC on the block? Texting it from Dean Street got me an address in Ruislip.

Not really, of course. I exaggerated for comic effect.

Surely one only needs to see where McDonalds is? A McWee with lies has been discussed before hasn’t it?

“Customers only miss” “I’m buying something in a minute”

Then sneak out after your McWee and not buy anything.

Of course now I have to find toilets with changing table facilities….bloody nightmare!!

Yes, I misread this too. I thought it said “Rapid hand relief now in Westminster”...

Working near Westminster you can imagine my disappointment.

Potty, Juvey, don’t worry, you’re not perverts, as I keep on reading the title of this thread as, “Rapid hand relief now in Westminster”, too.

Though, unlike you,Potty, it caused another part of my anatomy to “prick up”.

Also, why the fuck is a thread that was last responded to three days ago on the front page?

Because,SM, FCL is soooo boring at the moment in terms of the number of threads started or replied to, that anything floats to the top – which is kind-of appropriate given the subject matter of this thread…
