Ah yes, who doesn’t love the toilettes turcs? My favorite toilets in France were in Lyon, where one was supposed to estimate how much bog roll one would need by unrolling off of a big spool, then taking it into the cubicle. Made me appreciate the art of estimation.

A couple of weeks ago I went into one of these in Romford, Essex (I’m normally in Germany). I didn’t have much choice as I failed to locate anything else. It kept me waiting outside (in full view of everyone walking through the pedestrian zone) with the message that it was cleaning itself. When I got in, it was indeed pristine, and so was a huge turd placed right in the middle of the floor.

As a young man, I was taken to Paris by my best friends parents.
They were both language teachers and lived in a very french themed house (this may have consisted of noting more than evain water and paintings but I was very young and very impressionable). Anyway, one day having ventured out for a shop around Paris, we came across on of these loos and my friends mother decided to pay a visit. This women look like an over inflated Laura Ashley model.
So the story is that half way through her visit, the door comes open and then refuses to shut. She can’t get up as she needs to stay longer, but then half of paris are walking by and having a nose at her knickers.
They are nothing but evil waiting to happen.
