Tea and a pee

[eumenades]

The UK had a great solution for full-bladdered taxi drivers.

A London cab shelter is last of remaining 13 to be given listed status. (Source : The Guardian.) a wooden structure in St John’s Wood joins 12 other surviving shelters out of the original 60 built between 1875 and 1950. Many had a rail fixed to the exterior so cabbies could tether their horses while they refuelled with hearty plates of food and exchanged gossip with fellow drivers. Each shelter had a small kitchen and space for about 10 drivers to sit and eat a meal. Gambling, drinking and swearing were forbidden. Thirteen still stand. All have now been protected with Grade II-listed status on the advice of Historic England.

 

Obviously a great answer to our urine-soaked Sois in Bangkok today!
