Haven't you read the Bible s3raphita? It specifically states there are dire
consequences for those who pisseth against the wall - thus the need for open
toilets that Our Lord not feel obligated to visit wholesale destruction upon
the populace of the UK.

can't see why they don't just instruct the gentlemen to go and piss against a
nearby wall.
OMG, that's disgusting! Where are these things?
And where do you wash your hands? And why do they feel the need to mark them a
"men's" logo, are there women's versions on the way?

San Francisco wanted to put in toiletsdowntown on the streets. A French
company makes self cleaningunits which were ideal. They could only accommodate
one person ata time and so drug dealers couldn't use them which was a concern.
Then the Disabilities People yelled and they had to get ones thatwere large
enough for them. Which meant that drug dealers coulduse them. The French
company doesn't make them like that and Ithink the ones they got aren't self
cleaning.
I think it would have been a better idea to pass a law requiringestablishments
to allow the disabled to use their facilities andleave the single user systems
on the street. Of course that wouldhave caused yet another kerfuffle.

I'm serious. Make sure you buy a"Radar Key" (£2:45 on Amazon) - which gets you
access totoilets for the disabled. They're the only onesmaintained to a decent
standard apart from expensivefacilities at tourist traps. Otherwise you'll have
tostock up on disposable toilet seat covers, pocket tissuesachets, and you'll
have to learn the art of sitting onthe loo with one leg outstretched to keep
the cubicledoor shut as the lock is invariably broken.
The best place for numerous, freeand clean public toilets is Tokyo. That could
be abetter holiday destination.

Assessing civilization by it its number of toiletsis a wonderful metric and

Would youbelieve that I actually read "Small is Beautifulback the mid 70's. I
have to laugh -- backin college I was so deluded. What a hoot. A
totallylooney-bin hippie manifesto. Schumaker probablyhated toilets. and would
have tooted graywater andgrowing fresh vegetables. As if !. I am glad men of
theworld like us see through such garbage. Came acrossa review theother day. I
think the copious amounts of acid hismother must of taken never really left the
writersbrain.
"Small is Beautiful was a radical challenge to the20th century's intoxication
with what Schumacherdescribed as "gigantism". For several decades,
massproduction methods were producing more cheap goodsthan ever before; the
mass media and mass cultureopened up new opportunities to a wider audience
thanever. It was creating bigger markets and biggerpolitical entities. ..
hebelieved such scale led to a dehumanisation ofpeople and the economic systems
that ordered theirlives.
One of the recurrentthemes through the book is how modern organisationsstripped
the satisfaction out of work, making theworker no more than an anonymous cog in
a hugemachine. Craft skill was no longer important, norwas the quality of human
relationship: human beingswere expected to act like adjuncts to the machinesof
the production line. The economic system wassimilarly dehumanising, making
decisions on thebasis of profitability rather than human need... What
Schumacher wantedwas a people-centred economics because that would,in his view,
enable environmental and humansustainability.
It was a radical challengewhich, like many of the ideas of the late 60s
andearly 70s (feminism is another example), weregradually adopted and distorted
by the ongoingvoracious expansion of consumer capitalism. ... a"small is
beautiful" model of economic enterprise thatput relationship, craft and
environment at the heartof their way of working .. were later snaffled up
bycorporate giants. Small became cool but only as partof a branding strategy
which masked the ongoingconcentration of political and economic power.Gigantism
has triumphed.The power of the globalmultinational and the financial
institutions wasbeginning to become apparent in the early 70s, but ithas grown
exponentially since, unaccountable tonational governments. Schumacher warned
that a city'spopulation should not rise above 500,000, but we arenow living in
an era of the megapolis and severalcities around the world are heading towards
20m.Schumacher would be weeping over his herbal tea at thefate of his big
idea....We yearn for economic systems within our control,within our
comprehension and that once again providespace for human interaction – and yet
we areconstantly overwhelmed by finding ourselves trappedinto vast global
economic systems that arecorrupting and corrupt. .
