A teacher was trapped in public toilet in Scotland for 4days. He had to drink tap water to stay alive.

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/071210/oddities/britain_toilet_offbeat

WTF?? How does a public toilet not get check by janitor everyday for toilet paper replacement?

What kind of public toilet is this? I want to avoid it on my travel to Scotland on future date.

If he had hot tap water to warm his feet, why didn't he drink some of that, instead of the ice-cold water???

Pity it didn't have a sprinkler system he could have set off.

Then he'd have been wet for four days and would have died from exposure wink

This story is totally depressing. Nothing happens here in Scotland. I mean absolutely nothing. Then a man gets himself locked in a crown green bowling club toilet in Aberdeen for 4 days and it become international news. frown How on earth did this story become an international story? crazy

And it had to happen in a crown green bowling club.



Probably the most boring game ever invented. No, I take that back, I almost forgot about Cricket.

Where's the best place to stay in Las Vegas. cool grin

It's tempting to save a reference to this and start a "Survival Kit for Public Toilets?" thread next April...

It says he drank tap water, but dipped his feet in a "basin". I don't think "basin" referrs to tap water or the sink. whistle

Why didn't he just turn on all the sinks, stop the m up with toilet paper, do the same with the toilets, and flood the place?
