I've used a public loo at a Belguim railway station before,never had to pay but they were dead clean,and they had proper dividers that offered real privacy.
Was impressed.

And on this theme, who shares my complete abhorance at the preponderance of the p*ss tax now charged as so many wannabe "trendy" bars.
Basically, attendant sits looking bored out of his wits in the gents. After doing your business and washing your hands, said gents then hands you paper towels, and nods towards an array of cheap, nasty aftershaves, gels and the like on the counter. All for the "discretionary" charge of a quid. Now if you have a hampster bladder like me, you can end up spending an extra couple of rounds worth on a night out just going to the lav!
I take the towels and don't pay the tax, but most people sprint for the door while doing their flies up just to avoid the awkward eye contact!
Obviously £3 a bottle of warm lager is such a bargain that paying to go to the toilet is totally reasonable.

The finest toilet I have ever used was the one at the Windows on the World Restaurant at the top of the World Tade Centre. Obviously it is no longer there and I hope the poor toilet attendant got out alive.
The black attendant was like a perfect butler/ valet sort of chap. As soon as you walked in he greeted you like royalty and escorted you to the nearest urinal. I've never known such service. For one horrible moment I was worried he was going to shake the drips off for me when I finished. But no, he led me over to the washbasin and run a bowl of water to the correct temperature and then added soap and oils. Immediately after that he produced a warm fluffy towel and dried by hands for me. I gave him one dollar and he expressed real gratitude for being allowed to be of service to me.
If he made one dollar from every punter he must have done alright. I really hope he wasn't working on the morning of Sept 11th as this man was a real star.
