Left:
The
attractive dark bricked building has all three entrances on
the same side, and are conveniently accessable via a zebra
crossing.
Right: The entrance way does not make a good impression,
the uneven, worn concrete is a tripping hazard, there are
also some broken floor tiles. |

Left:
For
some reason, there's a fly zapper on the wall, I wonder why
that could be? Oh yeah, it may have something to do with the
huge swarm of flies that live inside the block. As soon as
you walk in they swoop on you. It's a distressing experience.
Right: A brilliant feature is the skylight. The fact that
its open is probably to let the flies in that attack innocent
members of public. |

Left:
There
is a large light on the wall that actually lights up.
Right: A disappointing occurance during the inspection
was discovering numerous missing and broken tiles on the wall. |
 |
 |
Left:
A
stainless steel urinal with space for three users. It was
lovely to find that the raised platform was clean and had
an unperished surface. The tiles on the edge of the step even
had yellow lines painted on them to make you aware of the
rise of surface height.
Right: Urinal blocks were in use, blue in colour, they
make a change from the more common yellow ones. These help
combat the odur of urine. There was also a rubber mat placed
over the drain to stop blockages from toilet tissue. Very
clever. |

Left:
St
Josephs Way toilets feature two cubicles of equal size. The
floors were rather sticky and there were a number of tiles
missing at the back of each cubicle. However, both still had
their toilet seats and lid attached.
Right: Although the toilet roll holder casing was left
lying on the floor, broken, there was still a roll of toilet
paper hanging from the wall. |
 |
 |
Left:
The
second cubicle was identicle to the other, although this one
doubles up as a refuge for tramps as the empty bottle of Scotch
in the corner would suggest.
Right: This rather fancy hand sanitizing unit didn't feature
any buttons. It took an age for it to sense that my hands
were waiting to be cleaned, I passed the time by looking at
my beautiful reflection in the mirror. |

 |
Left:
Get
your mind out of the gutter. This isn't some sort of bodily
fluid, it's soap dispensed from the machine.
Right: And finally, the best aspect of the toilets were
that the locks on both toilet cubicles were in full working
order. Peace of mind is a great thing when you are having
a poo. |
| Summing
Up |
If
you can look past the various broken tiles and the tripping
hazard entrance, then the St Joseph Way public toilets
don't scrub up too badly.
The working locks, complete toilet seats, skylight and
the fancy hand sanitizing unit are all nice features.
However, the facility is full of flies, it is HORRIBLE.
A mad dash to a cubicle is the only way to enjoy a harassment
free urination session away from the flies.
These toilets would have scored highly, but the flies
have put themselves in the ointment.
