No loos on the choo-choos

[stewey]

What are the two cities mentioned in this story, and will any of you be affected by the lack of a loo?:)

No idea without looking into it further, but Brighton is the major city on the south coast, the other one might be Southampton. I think the journey is about an hour between them. Half the loos on the trains don't work anyway, it'll be like travelling by coach without a loo, you need to go before you travel.

Gien the name of the company, sounds to me like London to Brighton, but wouldn't swear to it.

I can imagine the sale of "she-wee's" going through the roof

actually cazzz, when I travel by train (and I do a lot) it tends to be the blokes who go in there more often. There were four in there the other day when the ticket collector came down the train!

I suppose it's as usual: the papers and the unions will raise a stink and create a tempest in a toilet pot...................ok I'm leaving:)

[cazzz1975]

men do seem to need to wee a lot, I wonder if that is a physical attribute? I see a lot of them wee-ing in bushes when playing golf as well

[boxtops]

OLO @ cazz, I can see it now!

[cazzz1975]

its grim, like coaxing a little wrinkly mouse out of its bed in the middle of a field

In my experience, it is women who seem to have the weakest bladders. Most of my car journeys take longer than necessary due to 'iron bladder' needing to stop every 15 minutes...

[boxtops]

even worse, particularly if they have to keep peering round to make sure nobody's watching!

From where I live to the nearest city is about an hour's journey by train and we have never had a train with a toilet! The line splits halfway train also go from the city to another (posh) town on the other side of the hill - same distance from the city and they always get the newer fancier trains with toilets. Even if there's a breakdown and a replacement bus service is put on their bus comes first :(

Id carry a sponge, funnel and empty 2 litre bottle and make a mint!
