How come fellas go free?

Ok I know this has nothing to do with accy but I just have to ask this
Yesterday I had to go to Cleveleys and while there hubby needed to go loo
So off we popped to public loos and when we got there I was amazed if not gobsmacked to find that women had to pay and fellas didnt.

Now I know us women can be a little more needy at times but hey this is a public loo we re talking about.

Rindy will be along soon to say how disgusting it is you have to pay and if the local council managed their taxes correctly using the public toilet would be free

They have the same toilet facilities at Fleetwood - men free - women 20p
It is probably due to the fact that the unattended portacabin style loos can operate without staff, but that ladies loos have a bin facility that does need a person to attend to empty it. That emptying is usually contracted out to a sanitary bin emptying specialist.

If you a really offended by the fact that you have to pay to take a seat, I for one have no objection to you nipping into the gents and using ours, however the facilities may not be to the standard you are used to!

Never thought of that Margaret.

Dont think going into the fellas would do any good Less, Hubby said they are urinals and I for one would struggle a bit with that one lol

probably because women will pay to wee, men will wee anywhere instead of paying.

if its any concolation cherokee we have to pay to take a dump

although the urinals fit snugly it can take some time to prod the poop through the waste trap on them so it is easier to pay to sit and flush rather than sit and poke

Well, the offer still stands so long as you will!

to be quite honest if you go down accy at weekends you can often see a yellow river flowing from back alleys with the source been a woman squatting with her knickers round her ankles so there just as bad as fellas realy but have the excuse that they didnt have 20p handy

Well that's true ema, that's what I thought when I went to watch Liverpool in the 70s and went on the Kop, we waited for the crown to disappear at the end and you'd be surprised just how many toilets people had found on the terraces

Being as I'm a gentleman, when in the company of a lady who needs to go the loo, I would contribute 10p towards the costs.

Yeah but I'll bet there weren't any left in the actual toilets.. the scousers used to nick em and re- plumb them into there houses.
