It's been a long time since I posted in my own Loo Loo Community, sorry for neglecting you. You're not totally forgotten as I have been collecting interesting loo photos whenever I see them. For those who don't know what a loo is, this place exist every where, even at your home. Let's go and have a look...
This is it, the lovely toilets. The black bar in the middle is the partition dividing the two cubicles. I like the symmetry of this image, it's a pity the bin on the left hand side spoilt it.
I can't remember where I took this image but it's a while ago from back in 2021. It must have been quite a large place, maybe a shopping mall, because there are a lot of hand washing basins here. It's very thoughtful that they added lower basin at the end for children or wheel chair users, and it adds to the aesthetic of the entire basin giving it a lovely outline.
I've seen this propelair in quite a few places and I have to say I am not a fan of them. They work like toilets on planes and trains where they suck the waste down and makes a very loud noise when it does it. I remember when I first came across them it really startled me when I flushed it. This one has a clear toilet lid, not sure why they do this as it's not exactly very appealing to look at your own waste after you're done.
I remember this toilet, it was also from a while ago. This is a public toilet in a very quaint town in UK. For a toilet, the building is quite pretty from the outside, probably keeping with the appearance of the overall town. It is always very nice when they make the effort to have plants and flowers outside. Sadly the inside was bog standard. Nothing to shout about. It was nice and clean, and that's important.
Toilets can be a fun place for girls gossip on a night out, but it's also a very good place to pass on discreet messages. In London there is an Ask for Angela scheme rolled out in many bars and restaurants and public places. It is to help people who feel vulnerable when they go out, but don't want to kick up a big fuss. If you feel unsafe you can go to a member of the staff and ask for Angela, that is a code phrase to tell them you need help. The staff would have been trained on the scheme and they will help you out in a discreet way. I don't know if this scheme is rolled out in other cities, they should be.
Even before Covid, I have always had issues with exiting toilets. Not everyone cleans their hands properly 😣 and some places don't have adequate facilities for people to dry their wet hands. I always grab a bit of toilet paper to open the door handles when I leave, and trust me that's not OCD!! In recent years, I noticed some places have installed these foot holders at the bottom of the toilet doors, so that proves it's not only me who has these concerns!! I think this is a brilliant idea. Of course, contactless door openers are even better, you just wave your hand over the sensor and the doors open automatically. Best invention ever!!
