Maximum Toilet Satisfaction

 Life suddenly became very exciting. Kind friends took us to a Max burger joint to gobble some simple carbohydrates and improve our chances of dying on the toilet. Turns out Max is everything a hamburger establishment shouldn't be: preppy, hearty, and mindful of the environment. Be that as it may, however, the toilets were fantastic!


Outside the toilets: hand sanitizer! In case you left yours at home.

Extra back-up sink outside. Note the funky colours.

We wanted to take this soap dispenser home with us. (It was securely fastened to the wall.)

Close-up of the tap: motion-sensor of course!

Naturally, a splendid coat-hook

We weren't quite so enamoured with the air dryer, but you can't have everything

The photo simply doesn't do justice to the clean-ness of this toilet!

Check out the fastidiousness of this cleaning rota!

Are you holding on to something? The toilet paper was UNBLEACHED!

You may safely indulge in your complimentary coffee: the toilets are great!
 Hit us over the head with an excited halibut: these toilets get an unprecedented 14 points!

A Rapturous Who-Dunnyt from Australian Friend

 Australian Friend, reminiscing over her travels round Britain last year, fondly remembers the toilets (and burgers) at Byron Burger in Haymarket, London. We remember this special friend remarking, at the time, "Just discovered the cleanest toilets in central London. Best part is that they're playing 'Land of Hope and Glory' in there".

Says Australian Friend: "This dunny was amazing. Impeccably clean, shiny, and with brand spanking new technology (the drier was superb). I fully recommend this toilet. The burgers are brilliant as well."
Althohugh this is all very stylish, we naturally cannot approve
of these perverted taps (see "Taps" and also "Rant").

This looks very much like a Cylon device and as such renders us apprehensive. Also, although Australian Friend found it "very effective", it looks like bog-standard unhygienic dryer, and not the Privy Counsel-approved kind (see "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Loo-Roll Holders (But Were Afraid to Ask)").

Australian Friend describes this as "DELICIOUS".

GBK: Bliss in a Burger Joint

We don't know where to begin with this one, though P. G. Wodehouse's Bible paraphrase "Joy, joy, joy in the morning and joy, joy, joy in the afternoon" seems to cover the gist of it. Actually, though we wouldn't normally reach for said work of literature, Google informs us that the King James verse goes something like, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning". And that's exactly how we feel about this toilet!
Those of you who have been following our blog for a while will know that we have a tendency to ranting and sarcasm. Today, however, the sun is shining, birds are no doubt singing in the pesticide-rich fields, and we are happy to bring you pictures of a lovely toilet!

We had lunch in Gourmet Burger Kitchen the other day. You may imagine our delight when, on opening the door to the conveniences, a motion sensor switched on the light! You may further imagine our joy at spotting two functioning mixer taps! The décor, moreover, was pleasant in every way, and we found hardly anything to complain of. This is such a rare occurrence that we found ourselves momentarily speechless.

Glory, glory, glory: functioning mixer taps!

Is it the Terminator? No, it's a brand-spanking-new, shiny hand-dryer! We still don't approve of this type of hand-dryer, however, considering it unhygienic and energy-wasting, and so the shininess won't earn this toilet any extra points.

Tasteful décor, snazzy lighting and mixer taps! Joy, joy, joy!

Woof! A super-sturdy coat-hanger!!

Nice door handle, but we don't understand the British insistence on making doors
that don't go all the way down to the floor.

What can one say except, in the words of Borat, "Jak se máš? I liiiiike!"

Covered toilet roll holder with plain white bog roll; bin not too close; nice and clean: We love it!

Shame about the air-dryer, but we're awarding an extra point for the motion sensor light, resulting in 10 points out of 17!
