Perv - A t-shirt that speaks for itself! A friend spotted the original municipal sign in Switzerland and Germany. It seems that mixed toilets don’t work after all. If porn is the second most popular activity on the Net (Social Networking being the first - Check out The Mass Debating T-Shirt!) - then mixed toilets must be high up on the ’submitted by amateur’ lists. After all, we’ve heard of Happy Slapping, not such a happy event mind you, I can’t imagine when I’d be happy to be slapped, perhaps grateful under the right circumstances, but never happy.

Anyhoo, toilets, I do seem to keep coming back to toilets, I would like to blame it on Duchamp, who knows, perhaps I wasn’t properly toilet trained. I can’t stand the places, public ones stink, god knows how homosexuals put up with it when they are cottaging (is that a verb now?). To be honest, the gay guys I have met through the years can’t stand dirt, perhaps they could all chip in and just buy one instead. Have a dress code. No dirty boots etc.

In short, Europe must be rife with toileteers for this image to have ever come in to being. I can’t imagine the UK ever standing for mixed loos, or to be more precise ,British women. Let’s just say it isn’t just the perving that would put them off, it’s more of a toilet seat technicality.

Men in the UK are for the main part brought up to keep their head down and their gaze to their own, if a public loo smells don’t breathe, do your ones (and twos if you really have to) and get out sharpish.
