Re: Aussie in London
Caught in a similar situation in London and busting for one.
Not too many comfort station sin central London so use the pubs, and that of course means having a quick one in there first.
Obviously too many quick ones.
Then my nephew pointed to a spot,
Just stand there he told me.
I did and up from the ground came a stainless steel dunny.
It was for men only and had no back to it.
But who cares in situations such as that.


Happy daze John in Oz.
