oowee Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 What is 40p? The service has to be paid for, why should everyone else pay to wipe your ,,,,? 🤣 Problem with 40p is who has any cash? In Dartmouth it's 20p but you can use a card. kids just jump over.

Try Norfolk stopped at a garage to fill up and get some provisions £75 diesel £35 provisions another £8 for coffees oh and some backy just shy of £150 can I use the customer toilet please over there he pointed £1 to use it cash only 🤔 I know everything needs to be paid for but it’s getting a little excessive🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 The whole idea of public toilets is to stop people peeing and pooing all over the place . If they charge that increases .pretty simple equation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sometimes pop in Waitrose on the way to Cromer, I buy a coffee and ( borrow ) one of the posh magazines like the Field , or Gundogs and relax in the cafeteria while the good lady is spending money as if it grow on trees , I get a receipt and as I have bought something I am entitled to a free coffee to take away , I have spent under £3 and I dread to think what my wife had spent , but for me to have two coffees and catch up how the other live in The Field , oh and not forgetting the use of a free loo , now you cannot complain at those prices 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Had the same in Boscastle this weekend just gone. 20p. The nephew just walked to the hedge and peed there, no coins on us and he had to go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 In some local places such as Grasmere it’s 50p now if I recall. I once saw a group of about twelve lads all clamber into and over the barrier for 50p! Hilarious! In Ambleside they’re free but a 50p voluntary donation is asked for. I don’t resent the fee at all, I’m just surprised there’s a charge for this from what must be one of the wealthiest councils in the land.

Minky Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Everything is in a bad way. The council at Camber sands whopped car parking up to £30 !!!!. It was on TV the other day that the local businesses are all up in arms about it because no one is coming there anymore. They say that they are all being forced out of business. The upshot of this is like the high streets are like ghost towns. ANYWAY its a case of here I sit broken hearted, I spent a penny........

Fargo Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 No public toilets here now as too many crack heads used them to semi live in. Some nice Victorian parks with ornate toilet blocks but all locked up now sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
