btw - the gents toilets were blocked for most of the day and not flushing, it was outrageous. I won't even begin to describe what it was like in there.

Found and handed in according to this post unless there was a spate of dropped pouches by the hyrdobox today!

As someone who used to dive and work there for a while, I empathise with the comments. But has anyone actually mentioned to the staff the state of said appliances? I am sure they are aware generally, but if no-one voices a concern, then it will go unacknowledged...

Don't bother going to Gildenburgh then... Stoney's loos are palacial in comparison!

But back then they were wooden shacks... No heating, toilets were usually very dark, damp, smelly... toilet paper optional...

It's been a while though so perhaps they've upgraded things? (trying to give them benefit of the doubt - all IMHO, of course)

Yes the staff were aware as they were looking at them when I was getting changed.

Now I know the viz was appalling last Tuesday but both myself and my buddy are positive the box was not there. Just the support legs which it normally stands on. Poor viz or both narked?
