Judge Dread Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Is it my imagination but no-one seems to have mentioned the dreaded "foot plate" toilets in La Belle France? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Ava_Hay Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I thought it was still legal to perform over the rear offside wheel of a chara'? Only for the professional driver and it is a local bye law so not necessarily in every area. Also it is only an adequate defence against the charge of urinating in public and the magistrate has limited power of discretion these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poggy1165 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 You chaps have brought back fond memories of my first visit to the continent, circa 1967. Disembarking from the old ferry at Ostend (and it was a proper ferry then, with a sharp end and a curved end, none of this roll on-roll off nonsense) I found myself needing to pass water. Having visited the facilities and relieved myself, I was astonished to be confronted by an ancient crone demanding payment. 'Sorry, Madame,' I said, 'I've only got English money.' By gestures and expressions she indicated that this was cool, and was propitiated by the handsome sum of 2d in copper. At that point in my life, my flabber had never been more gasted.

rue_d_etropal Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Assume this is the type, I think known as a Moroccan toilet. This was in basement garage in my house in France. Unfortunately we got rid of it as it was ideal spot to plumb in rest of system! One of my daughters keeps bringing up story of how we stayed in house at first, and she had to visit the creepy toilet. To be fair I used to make sure I visited before it got dark. Another of my daughters complained about these basic toilets on drive down to south of France.
