I know how revered London Pride is, but I've tried it. Thanks! I'll take good old Canadian beer!

I think that pay potties went out of fashion here when the Americans With Disabilities Act went into effect in the 1980's. Pretty much guarantees free access in public spaces like train stations, parks, etc.

Read once where one of the budget British airlines (RyanAir maybe?) was considering putting pay per use in some of their planes. That would be interesting!

Prefer a nice Sam Adams or Yuengling lager, but would never turn down a good German beer.

When traveling down the highway here in the States, the occasional need arises. Guys have it easy. My wife however must use particular locations like McDonalds.
But, perhaps because of all the "Restroom For Customers Only" signs spotted in retailer windows, she always buys something. I call it the "guilt soda."
That's about as close as we get to "Pay-for-Piss."

Sounds like a vicious cycle...

Pee, buy a "guilt soda", drink, repeat...😵‍💫

Yea that's pretty mind boggling, here in Australia there's always a tree, fence, French car, something convenient

In most of Western Europe it's now €1.00 (used to be €0.50 a few years ago) for #1 and €2.00 for #2 in German and French speaking countries (my wife complains she pays €2.00 to pee), unless of course you go to McDonald's where it's always free. In Spain, Portugal, Italy, and most of Eastern Europe still free (as of last year)
Hi where do you pee? Untill now I didn't pay 2 € to get rid of liquid luggage. What did you get for the money?👎

In Greece, the smaller villages and particularly on the islands, public facilities are non existent, you have to have a meal or drink at a taverna or restaurant to get access!

We were in Santorini (& Athens) as part of a tour on our cruise and were able to use them for free. I guess the cruise company have connections...

Data just released by National Rail show that Victoria station's income from the toilets was 2.3 million pounds over the last three years.
That's a lot of people drinking a lot of beer.

There is only one beer worth drinking

And I would make a plea for the new Paddington Station conveniences, they are always clean and soooooo much better than the grotty old ones, I can live with the price inflation from 10p to the 30p they are now!😀

Reminds me of the limerick:

Here I sit, broken hearted,
Paid a nickel, only f....d,
Yesterday, I took a chance,
Saved a nickel, (ahem) my pants.

London Pride...pffft. ESB is the one to go for 😁

Once did a 7 hour session on ESB, ended up being sick on my dog. Chunky then decided to lick it up. Got a right bollocking from the missus.
