I read they spent £100k renovating it, the toilet had closed in the 60s, probably too expensive to manage.
I often find public toilets availablity can be quite an issue when I go out, especially when I'm in an unfamiliar city. When we were doing our America road trip earlier this year I had to make sure we had plenty of pit stops as a member of the group has diabetes. Luckily we found a lot of convenient places to stop.
Wow, that is quite a bit. When you are on the road it can be kind of easy except for the long distances you have to travel here, but between gas stations and rest areas it isn't too bad. It just depends on your tolerance for "ick". In the city though, it's tough unless you want to have to find a place to be a paying customer every time you need to go.
