Pop Up Toilets in London

[jod0565]

I just saw this on the Travel channel and I think it's funny, but actually useful.
They pop up at 10pm and go down at 6 am - when people are out partying.

Finally. There was such a problem with homeless people here in Pland, until eventually the council used the semi-transparent ones Nov 2008. Like, where are these poor folk supposed to do their thing? :moon:

what if it slides back down into the ground while you're in it? i mean, it's made by the english, it's bound to break down.

Are you from the West? Just because it is in England doesn't mean it was made there?

I'm sat here in America, typing on an imported computer, placed on an an imported desk, drinking an imported wine and about to look at imported boobs, on mostly domestic women and filmed with imported cameras.

I pray to god his convenience was made in England, which when you thnk about it, it should be - if England is good at making crappy things.

That would suck.... You would have to wait until 10 PM If you're still alive, that is.

Assuming the CHUDs don't get you, that is.

This is years old, they came out around 2002.

Funny thing is, even though I've always seen them and used them, I never knew they went into the ground afterwards! I'm always in London between 10 and 6, so I've only seen them up.

Doesn't anyone have to relieve themselves between 6am & 10pm?

Do you think it will go down in a snap?

These telescopic things will sloooooowly rise and sink. and they are too small to fall asleep in

I don't think you be able to fall asleep seeing that you have stand and do a wee with no doors while people are walking past you.

It wasn't obvious from the original very small pictures that you didn't open it and get inside.

i'm from germany. and an english person wouldn't have been offended by my comment. we make fun of them, and they make fun of us, that's how it goes.

btw, all personal computers (at least the ones we can buy in the west) feature american CPUs, although not all of them are manufactured in the US.

and the land of the fake invented fake tits, if i'm not mistaken.
