Waterloo Pubs Offer Their Toilets For Public Use

Four pubs and bars in Waterloo have made their toilets available for public use as part of a council-funded scheme.

I've heard of this scheme in one or two other places, though haven't actually been anywhere it's in use. I'd prefer councils to fund public toilets properly, but in the absence of that (and since they have no legal requirement to do so) I suppose this is the next best thing. I wonder what the regulars will make of it, though, especially in quiet pubs which will now have people tramping through non-stop at all hours.

Agreed.

One of the four bars listed on that site (Cubana) is a place I've been to twice and from both experiences, it's a stupid choice for evening piddlers. It's one of the busiest bars in the area and the scheme will not work properly there. You're lucky if you get a chance to piss in there as a customer. Though I'm not sure if it's open during the daytime, in which case it would probably be a lot more free. And to be perfectly honest, I can't say I've noticed any clear and visible sign announcing its public utility.
