London toilets

[minestrone]

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.

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

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.

French in general.

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.

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.

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

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

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".
