According to Westminster Council, the bulging bladders of that city’s denizens are an accident waiting to happen:
Every year 10,000 gallons of urine is at risk of ending up in the city’s streets and alleyways through irresponsible and anti-social behaviour.
But help is at hand thanks to the new Sat Lav service, which promises to locate the nearest public convenience for a modest 25 pennies:
Just text the word “toilet” to 80097 and you will be texted back with the location and opening hours of your nearest public toilet.
So despite being comfortably ensconced in my well-provisioned Stonecot Hill chambers I decide to give it a go and find the location of my nearest Westminster toilet.
But no, foiled!
Sorry, we cannot locate your current position. Please try again later (Service is not available on Three or Virgin). You have not been charged for this reply.
I wonder if this later is the later when Three and Virgin’s services become compatible with Sat Lav’s system (or vice versa), or the later when I decide to switch my mobile phone network.
Either way, I doubt nature’s call will wait that long.
