It is unusual to find a toilet which installs the user with a true sense of peace and tranquillity. This latest toilet is truly no exception to the norm. While this facility is functional and conveniently placed in does not have any features that would endear itself to the end user.

From the moment I entered the pokey little hole that passes for a bathroom I felt claustrophobic to the point of nausea. The four walls of the room closed in as the smell of fresh urine invaded my respiratory system. I resisted the urged to find a better location to deposit my fluids and stepped up to the trough to complete the first part of my test.

I found the pissing experience to be relatively pleasant. The trough was well positioned and there was ample room to swing from provided for my reading pleasure. It was immediately after I finished emptying my bladder side to side during the act. I was disappointed that there was no graffiti or other material that I make the discovery that turned the whole experience sour. I had just tucked myself in when I went to press the flush button… Nothing…. I pressed it again… NOTHING. I then noticed some suspicious looking blue cubes in the bottom of the trough. A sign on the wall quickly informed me exactly what these blue cubes were all about.

Apparently water resources have become so stretched that we can no longer afford to spend a precious few litres removing our bodily waste. Now when it comes to being green I like to think that I am fairly progressive, I separate my recycling, I don’t use my car when I don’t have to, I ate a vegetarian meal last week and I watched the live Earth concert on television. However, I draw the green line at the most sacred of objects, the mensroom’s urinal.

I don’t want to focus my attention on the negatives of this review for too long there are some redeeming features in this pokey little toilet that are worthy of at least a passing mention. The artwork in this toilet is far superior to that found in previously reviewed facilities. The toilet artists who decorated the backs of the cubicle doors have used ink and stickers in such a way to challenge the viewer to consider their own mortality in relation to the characters from the children's movie “over the hedge”.

It is for this outstanding artwork alone that I find myself able to give this facility one gold toilet out of five.
