lav_reviews is now up and running

Seeing as I have taken to reviewing the architectural peculiarities of London's gentlemen's lavatories, I have discided to open up the practice to all and sundry.

So I've created a new community, lav_reviews for this purpose...

Enjoy...

Too bad you limited it to the gents in London. I have seen some great ones. Okay, I admit that I didn't walk downstairs to the rock urinals in the gents at the Madonna Inn last weekend - but Russell took a picture of a woman taking her guy's picture there... it is that big of an attraction. ;-)

And oh, the women's at the late lamented Hippo Burger in San Francicso. The seats were painted like the hippopotomi in Disney's Fantasia with these huge teeth around the inside and this cute, big lashed eyes on the lids.

I used to want to do a coffee table book of loo pix but I gave it up. In these days of digital cameras perhaps I'll start snapping some of the good ones. ;-)

Well, lav_reviews is intended to be global. So I am planning to write up the loos in the car park at Hay...

I recall a remarkable convenience from the Eastercon trip -- one of those tedious, cheap, modern establishments which has benefitted from a caring attendent. Little touches like flowers, and ornaments. It was either the ladies' beneath the coffee shop in the Winter Gardens, or it was an otherwise anonymous motorway service area.

Then there was the ladies' downstairs from the Spanish Hall in the Winter Gardens. After negotiating the winding staircase, you find yourself in a vestibule. The toilets themselves are through the door to your left, but this room is the notable part. It's not the decoration, which is unremarkable, but the furnishings - a table, some chairs, and best of all - two full length, free-standing mirrors in a carved wooden frame, positioned at right angles to one another.

The Feuars Arms in Kirkcaldy has a remarkable Victorian gents, but you will need a guide to find this wonderful little alehouse...
