In the supermarket yesterday I wanted the toilet,but when I went in ..naturally it was saturday and there was a queue..but I wasnt prepared for the mess that was in those toilets!!!There was paper everywhere,and wee on the seats,and to be truthful it was enough to put you off altogether. Then there is a sheet of paper on the wall claiming to be a check sheet...THE TOILETS ARE CHECKED EVERY THIRTY MINUTES!!!....well I dont think so!!! What are the toilets like in your local supermarket????

I have to say that both Tesco and Waitrose have spotless toilets Ruby. The gents at least. Mind you, I don't go to the sit down bit, just the place where we men can all stand together and try not to notice how inadequate we are by comparison to our neighbour!! I did once get an case of the squits on Paddington station. I was the once with clenched buttocks taking tiny steps very fast toward the gents. I think that it was 10p in those days.

Roots among the washers in her purse,and finds two five pence pieces in her purse,but she is sure that those would be given as a tip for services rendered. She dons her chequered cross over overall and applies her lippy ..places the roll of quilted Andrex in her carrier bag..along with the shoe shine kit..in case..and heads off to board the 7 .10 to Salisbury

Ten pence!!!!I would expect total and utter perfection for ten pence ,and nothing less would do!!!there would be a bowl on the side containing rose petals..and another containing imperial mints..there would be free baby wipes for lipstick marks that werent supposed to be there to be removed before getting the train home...the toilet paper would at all times be refilled,and in between every visitor the attendant would go in and fold the pouter sheet into a point..ready for the next client....and of course there would be aa supply of moist toilet tissue to help those who were dealing with loose bowel movements ..(otherwise known as the squits)..Ten pence indeed...

They are about the same..i think they put that sign up to make us upset on purpose cause i know there aren't no gremlins doing this..LOL..I try to avoid anything close to using these places cause i don't know when is the last time they were cleaned..i avoid drinking for this reason until i get home.

Some of our local supermarkets does not even have toilets in the first place and those that have they are terribly dirty and crowded at the same time. Its good that the government has built public toilets that are mobile, we pay $0.2 per visit and they are always very clean. They clean after every visit and the paper supply is frequent.

And very glad to hear it Kwenge,it should be made a golden rule to make sure that all public toilets are kept clean and tidy!

I haven't been in the supermarket one, but I've been in one at a Mc Donalds and I had to turn around and leave and wait until I went home. I can't believe the messes I've seen. I not only blame the cleaning people, but what kind of people are walking around us that act like slobs?

Tesco is my local one and they are horrible there,half the time they are broken and the doors are locked so you cant use but only one of them and then there is a great long queue.The paper is always short and I have to look in my bag to find a bit,and they smell too.Ive often thought that I should complain but I havent got the guts to.
