Thank you for the mainly positive review jasfiona. I think I would on balance agree I've got a bit over the stereotypical top re' describing the Welsh clan - but really only for the sake of spicing up the writing/entertainment value here.
Besides, you should see what I've written about the English, dear! ( maybe checkout cheeky stoat? )

I suppose I need to learn to be nicer to people overall, but diplomacy, sadly, has never been my strong point..... and do please note my redeeming bright star.....
" get beaten by the English in just about everything (except decency).."
Hope this answers llany lad adequately also, (especially as he's an about 6ft Rugger player :) )

I stumbled accross this weird and then strangely engaging blog whilst searching for an MTB bike race. I typed in google "Beast of Brecon" and it was 2nd suggestion. The 1st being a single question on some random cycling forum, with no replies. Anyway, please don't be too rude to the Welsh. They are after all the 1st inhabitants on the British Isles! We're just the Johnny come lately's. I know that we are sometimes made to feel unwelcomed in the more remote parts if their spot, especially when they all clock you by the crisps in the petrol station, then suddenly start speaking Welsh, with the , odd ENGLISH word thrown in 'cos they've got no idea what their dialect would say. Yes they're a funny lot, especially the ones that for some reason moan about having to live outside Wales, but can't be arsed to go back. Yes, some actually go out of their way to support EVERY other team except us, and Yes, some 'proper' Welsh even hate Cardiff, cos it's too English.

But even so, I consider it quirky, and I'm afraid that you did somewhat mar your very well written No.15 (in bog-terms), by being a tad rude!

Oh, I 've seen these amazing loos before in emails a while back. I don't think it would be good flashing therapy though - yes , they could flashing away to heart's content but noone would see them .. so no attention, no satisfaction :))

The only thing that this public toilet needs is some avery labels. Such labels could prove to be a nice improvement.

Hate to be picky... but the pictures of these toilets are infact in Hastings Town Centre and not in St Leonards at all as you have stated.

Sorry!

First used in China, cannon were among the earliest forms of gunpowder artillery, and over time replaced siege engines among other forms of aging weaponry on the battlefield. outsourcing research

Came by your blog by accident and decided to read. A few points, me 6ft 2in and welsh, don't know anyone of my mates under 5ft 7in as stated - where did that come from. Dynion on the door - yes you guessed right you were in a foreign country, don't you remember crossing the border? Wales losing to England at everything - is this an old blog are you completely oblivious of the game of rugby? Ang police banging lambs - bit 19th century that one.

Got it Bradders - it's highly amusing indeed, thanks.
The openly exposed bowls both fascinate and repel at the same time, remind of dreams I used to have of taking sits in multi-sex cubicles with wild west saloon swing door-sized entrances - everyone walking past & looking over or under.

I'm sure there's a good Freudian analysis to be had there - or maybe actual recollections of past lives toilet memories?

In many parts of India they still "go to the field" ( Flushing Meadows? :) )

The Foxy Chick sent me an e-mail containing something I thought you might like so I've put it on the arse end of my website, it's a power point display but explorer might display it, you'll probably need Microsoft Office though,

Those photos are good, toilets there are cleaner than in our school :-D In my country it is not so often seen on public places... I´m even not shure I would go on public toilets in my town, even if I need to go.
But your work on this blog is very useful.

Anything and anyone could win the Turner Prize with the right contacts, eggbod dear.
It's a wicked world right enough - but there again money & fame isn't everything - except when you aint got none!
And when you have it.... it's crap anyway.

God, if He exists, has to be the ultimate sadist for sure.
