    Question Would You Use This Toilet?

    Here is a public toilet in Switzerland that's made entirely out of one-way
    glass. No one can see you in there, but when you are inside, it looks like
    you're sitting in a clear glass box.

    But would you use it?:eek:

    There's a restaurant in Brisbane (I think it's called the Boathouse?) that has a one way mirror at the urinal. So when you're standing there filtering the chardonnay or whatever against this mirror, you can see all of your friends enjoying their meal.

    Quite offputting!!

    I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

    It would be great if you were a flasher, all the fun and no risk.

    I think the restaurant you are referring to is "The Regatta". I was there just before Xmas and used the urinal.

    Unfortunately, the glass isn't as one way as you'd think ie you can just make out the outlines of people from the outside - probably just enough visible to recognise the colour of their shirt etc.

    This means if you are sitting close to the window, you can make out an outline of somebody allowing you to point and laugh at the general direction - great fun.

    They also had one at the Breakie Creek Hotel in Brisy...

    Was off putting using it, let alone being on the outside..!
    There's always a better way to do things, get someone else to do it for you.!

    That was it.

    The other thing I seem to remember were the rowing terms on the toilet doors - something along the lines of "coxless" and "coxed"

    ptc, I'm from the old school. I think it is always appropriate to use paper. That's why there is a roll of it in the picture.

    If you get the opportunity, try the urinal at the American Club in Macquarie street in Sydney, a fantastic view and no need for oneway glass, there's no one high enough to look in!
    Cheers,

    I have never seen an explanation as to why there were curtains in Concord's toilet windows. :confused:

    Extremely fast peeping toms perhaps?

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonay in one hand - Strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming - "WOO WOO...What a ride"

    I was lucky enough to be invited there many years ago and you are right the view is awesome - piddled all over my shoes.

    Well it seems Telstra might be adding to their off-core portfolio by going into the toilet business. Complete with all panorama views
