Come on holiday to Wirral and you will be lucky to find a public toilet. The council have closed most of them so a day out can become a bit more adventurous than one would wish.

It's always been there though. Just not as easy in the past to access information on it, communications are so much better now.

I just can't take it all on board. Children in Need, Ebola, refugees from wars, toilets in foreign parts.

Too much.

It seems unbelievable that millions of people don't have access to a clean and private place to go to the toilet.. its not something I ever gave any thought to. It seems in many countries it isn't a priority for governments.

As someone with IBS who has a map of the local toilets engraved in my brain, plus those bushes/hedges that can be scaled to afford a bit of privacy, the idea of a toilet day appeals if it results in councils making sure that they have suitable facilities around for people.

No joke; it will soon be World Toilet Day.
I for one am very thankful that I live in a place where 'spending a penny' isn't fraught with difficulty. On holiday in Greece earlier this year I was made aware that even in Europe a visit to the toilet isn't always an easy experience.
