EARLIER THIS YEAR it was revealed that flies had been banned from public toilets in a Chinese city as part of a new hygiene push.
It came after Beijing announced that new regulations meant that bathrooms used by the public should contain no more than two flies. Beijing’s facilities are notoriously unpleasant as you can see here.
It got us thinking about other public toilets around the world…

This sign was on the toilet door when my local was being renovated. Not wonderful, but definitely weird. http://twitpic.com/8knt8
There is a toilet in a Wexford restaurant, where one feels that one is falling forward. The reason is the tiling which is done diagonally, at a slope which goes downwards. Absolutely weird. I thought I had drunk too much wine the first time I saw it.
What about the new toilets in the Arboretum Garden Centre restaurant in Co Carlow?
The urinals in the Mens are 3 different flowers and (I am told!) the handbasins in the Ladies are flowers too?
There were many beautiful toilets in Dublin at one time and all public, most where removed but the reminisce of many still remain, marble, polished copper, I think you would be amazed if they saw them.nOne of guys in work did a thesis on them. Fantastic.
The public toilets at Hyde Park Corner transformed by WaterAid, to raise awareness of the global sanitation crisis.
