Public Loos Opened Up For The Desperate

It's all very well being texted the nearest loo, but all too often the nearest loo is not actually that near, and you can only use it if you splash the cash. So you end up wearing your best nonchalant expression as you skip homewares and lingerie, heading straight for the Marks and Spencer bogs. Boris has noticed our plight, however, and persuaded a bunch of high street stores to open up their public toilets to any of us with crossed legs - not just 'customers'. Sainsburys, John Lewis, M&S, Tesco and Borders are the first to join up, hopefully reversing the 40% decline in truly convenient conveniences since 1999. (Image author's own)
