Helping to uncross the legs

At last one of those damn blasted politicians have listened and have produced the best map ever seen in Australia.

Its not that pretty, but it contains the locations of every single public loo in the country.

Now don't laugh. Stopping for a quick one (behave) after too many cups of tea gets tough at my age as the old fluid seems to run through much quicker than it used to.

Anyway, this map shows where Australia's 13,000 public conveniences are - allowing plenty of time for fogeys like me, or people with young ones, to plan comfort stops.

I remember the days when my old dad would stop the Model T out in the bush and kick us all out for "the business". There we'd be, carefully avoiding being bitten by a snake on the bottom with our private parts waving in the breeze.

I suppose it gave us an appreciation of the old copy of The Age we used at home for loo paper, but you didn't half have to watch out for feral echidnas.

Anyway, the map is available on the Net at www.toiletmap.gov.au and is such a good idea it may change my opinion of pollies. Nah, doubt that very much.
