Scott Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 A man died after he was crushed and trapped underneath a telescopic public urinal while working on the device in central London. He was pronounced dead at the scene at Cambridge Circus during a rescue effort at the junction between Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road. Pop-up toilets are stored underground and raised hydraulically to street level at night for people to use. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-64430454 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nauseus Posted January 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2023 Poor guy, that is not the way that anyone should go. RIP. Telescopic toilets coming out of the ground in the middle of the night? Why don't they just have public conveniences anymore? People often need to take a pee when the sun's up too! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The council can be blamed for closing many of London's public toilets. Beginning of this century there were plenty, but slowly closed permanently, or "under repair". Last time I visited I had to buy something at McDonalds to use their loo. It's an absolute disgrace and shame on the council for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingamabob Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 What happened to all the conventional toilets ? Rank stupidity to have got rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
