The Demise of The Public Convenience!!
Discussion
Shortly to be Filed with Betamax Recorders and 8 TRACK Stereos.
Where have they all gone.Accepting there are still a few in big Cities but not in villages and most towns dont have them now??
I can accept they were not always used for the right purposes (New Slant on Wake me up Before you Go Go....Pun intended.)
Can we have a few back please.My shoes are getting wet ??

I grew up in a sleepy village, there was a loo outside the shops, it went in about 93
Looking back it seems mad that someone came out twice daily to check it over
Guess that money is diverted to people who contribute nothing now
I think people use Supermarkets and Hedgerows now ??Looking back it seems mad that someone came out twice daily to check it over

I always thought it would be a good task for community service
If you feck about and don’t keep them clean etc, you don’t get to pass your service
It would be like the real world.
If you had to serve in your local area it would be embarrassing and might serve as a deterrent
I know the real world doesn’t work like this

People seem to have the bladder size of thimbles these days so I am not sure how they cope without public conveniences.
Went to see Dune part two a couple of weeks ago. Yes I know it is three hours but the number of people who went out to the toilet during the screening (one person on our row went twice) was genuinely surprising.

Whenever I go to the cinema I am normally watching the film I paid to see, not what the rest of the audience were doing.Went to see Dune part two a couple of weeks ago.

And you did well to find out if they were going to the toilet.
Did you ask them on their way back to their seat?

Unfortunately when you get to around 60 as I am, the prostrate tends to enlarge and pushes against the bladder effectively making it smaller with less capacity. So you go for a pee, then any liquids that couldn’t fit in bladder before arrive a little while later.Went to see Dune part two a couple of weeks ago.

I don’t have much to drink when going to movies or theatre etc.,.. but I still usually end up with a need to go. Of course some medicines are available but don’t often work well.
So yeah, I drop into pubs or large stores if out n about.
This in addition to the blood tests and… erm… poking …that takes place at this age. I had two close friends with prostrate cancer. Fortunately both appear to hv made it through. Get yourself checked chaps!
Late 80s, early 90s, quite a few of our public conveniences in Wales went with excuses of drug use and homosexuality.
Fact is though, people are generally disgusting and a lot of the public conveniences get decimated by the few who are unable to simply sit/stand and do their business and f
k off for the next person.

If I'm out somewhere for a beer or a coffee, I keep telling myself to Use The Loo Before Leaving to avoid later discomfort.
Councils seem to have decided that they can save money by closing public conveniences and selling off the sites, thus avoiding the costs of upkeep. They can then boost their income by having spys in laybys to catch anyone caught short and slap them with a fine.
Given our aging population, I'm surprised there isn't more of an outcry from pensioners about the shortage of toilets around the country.
Its all very well saying use a shop or a pub, but the most likely time to need to urinate is walking back from the pub after closing time.
It is time to stop being so prudish about needing to use a toilet and have a lot more of the largely open urinals that the French have. For ladies and men doing no.2s, have a cubicle which opens by taking a picture as the user goes in. At least that way they will know who the dirty scumbag is that left the place in a state.

Im mid 50,s and have just had my first check, no poking, it was done with an ultrasound type machine, so no need to worry about that side of it.

This is true. But i once did a change of use application and part of the permission grant was to allow public access to the toilets - so i wouldn’t be surprised if cafes etc on the high street have a similar clauseEmailAddress said:
acesulfame K (E950)
aspartame (E951)
erythritol (E968)
saccharin (E954)
sorbitol (E420)
steviol glycosides (E960)
sucralose (E955)
xylitol (E967)
+
caffeine
+
>500ml
The NHS back this up: aspartame (E951)
erythritol (E968)
saccharin (E954)
sorbitol (E420)
steviol glycosides (E960)
sucralose (E955)
xylitol (E967)
+
caffeine
+
>500ml
"Some sweeteners known as polyols (such as sorbitol, xylitol and erythritol) can have a laxative effect if consumed in large amounts. Some foods contain polyols naturally, such as certain fruits and vegetables. If polyols added to a food or drink make up more that 10% of a product, the product label must state that excessive consumption may produce laxative effects."
