It isn't hard. There's a map here https://content.tfl.gov.uk/toilets-map.pdf Why there aren't more of them is a different question. Whether they're open when you're bursting is another :-)

Even cleaner than Cedar Point Wave Pool, Ohio.

"no Tories left"? Surely Starmer's got plenty of them?

I avoided seeing it. As I remarked to a similar post in Another Place, were you expecting anything different?

Surely no one can be surprised? Have you seen how many building sites there are in London?

Buy 4 of the one on the left, you’ll be quids in 🙂

“That exhaust will clear right up” I’d be surprised if it did, even when they were newish Class 50s could produce an impressive plume of exhaust smoke. When I was a kid spotting on the Western Region main line and these were in regular service we learned not to stand directly above them on the footbridge at the station 😀 They make a great noise going at full chat though.

Party Gas=Ether aka Easy Start (or "Start ya bastard" in Australia). Sprayed into the air intake to encourage reluctant engines to fire up. It was a frivolous humourous remark, I think you'd need unfeasibly large cans for an engine that size 😀

Simple, servants 🙂

Not enough of the ol’ Party Gas, Class 50 needs two full cans at least 😀
