Some of the funniest loos I've been to were at Bridgend Rugby ground (apologies to anyone from Bridgend). The door was at the side of me, instead of in front. No lock (or course). Can you imagine sitting there trying to hold the door closed with your leg, at the side of you!! My hubby wanted to know why I'd been so long!!

& yes Daff you're right, those 2 women could have talked for Wales. All us managed to use the loo before either of them emerged from the hot seat

I once open the loo door in a pub to see a very tall gentleman stood relieving himself of his last pint. I can remember shout out to him as he looked over his shoulder "It's OK you don't NEED to turn around"

Don't like those new loos in the trains now either. They're nice big toilets but also have a nice big door that I'm always sure will open mid flow, especially as there are always two seats just outside.
(Who sits on them anyway - I mean what a potential view)!

Thanks for this, Ann..... and everyone's comments...... it is all the funnier cos it is sooooooo true!!

We were in the loos on Saturday, and I think there was a kindergarten teaching session going on... and two loos being taken up by a middle class version of I Spy.... called, *I am thinking of.....*

Poor Tina and Maddie were ready to murder, if they could have uncrossed their legs, lol!

The public loos in my town are all stainless steel. You go in and just get comfy when a loud voice comes down from the ceiling telling you that these are secure loos and after a certain time the doors will automatically unlock and open. The first time I went in there the voice scared the **** out of me - now I am prepared for it but still sit in terror wondering if I am taking to long. lol

Added to which they play music! Nothing cheerful - usualy cloral music and gregorian chant type things - lovely! lol

My sister gave me a She-wee for Christmas. You can pee anywhere like a man. You just have to unzip your trousers (assuming you wear them) and pull your nicks to one side and clamp said item to your nether region and pee - it goes down a funnel and out - it says to practice in the shower first!

I will *practice* chucking it in the bin! lol

You Lot sound like a load of " Pee-nuts".**M**.The words from some songs come to mind,"Make it easy on yourself" joined with "Stand by your Man"( but beware "Splashback". pmsl.

Men have it so easy.They never have to queue.Don't have to worry about getting a wet bum.No handbags and shopping to worry about.No tights,pants and skirt/trouser.They don't know how lucky they are.

The ''''''''normal loos""""""" in Japan are amazing.They can play music ,the sound of running water so that other people can't hear you weeing.The seats are heated.Oooohhh the do all sorts,oh yes there is also a spray to clean yourself.

In Berlin a public loo had the attendant who wouln't let you go into the cubicle until she had checked it and wiped seat.There was nice soap and air freshener sprays.I was most impressed.
The most difficult ones to use are in Japan.Squat ones.I got in a right old pickle with my trousers.I thought it would be easy just to slip one leg out.That was fine but then you have to hold it off the ground and balance at the same time!!!!!

Many a time I've sat there like a horse with nosebag hanging round neck.Passing tissues along the row and pleading for any to have a bit of spare.
Normally I carry plenty of tissues in my bag.
I used to think foreign toilets were bad but I think english ones especially in airports and stations are a disgrace.They are filthy smelly flushes don't work .Makes me feel ashamed to be British

Maggie I went to a public loo in Italy (honest I'm not always in them!) - can't remember where, but t there was a receptionist you had to collect a few sheets of toilet paper from and then they led you to a free toilet and opened the door for you to go in - with a flourish
I was trying not to laugh
