There are some things that cameras just seem to be drawn to. With some it’s food, with others it’s landscapes, or doors, balconies, washing lines …..
A couple of years ago we spent Christmas in Brussels, the usual stuff … Christmas markets with mulled wine, light show at night, a square turned into an ice rink. What did we concentrate our cameras on? Toilets!
It began when we experienced a self cleaning, rotating toilet in the Ladies which we took a video of, but I can’t find it to publish here. Anyway, it was fun and added another dimension to the eating and drinking focus of the 5 days so as Christmas approaches again here’s a couple of examples, one quite artistic and one very traditional. You decide which is which.

Brussels is one of my favourite European cities! I’ve been many times and always find something new and quirky. I’ve never run into quirky toilets though!

Found rotating self cleaning ones in a ladies toilet in Bruges once, must be something to do with Belgium …. or EU headquarters!

Bruge is another gem 😊 perhaps it is only fitting in a city where the mascot is manekin pis.

A gem without wine, but the range and strength of beers is almost psychedelia inducing! We visit annually and often meet up with our beer loving friends from Denmark.

Have you seen the film “In Bruge”? Dark comedy, but very entertaining!

Glad I’m not the only one who takes pictures of bathrooms.

It all began 35 years ago when I took my then 5 year old daughter to visit the Toilet Museum in Stoke on Trent! The place was a complete giggle for her and we still laugh that when we sat down in the cafe for a pot of tea she came close and whispered to me “dad, I want a whisper”. I thought this was a new way of saying she wanted to go to the toilet, so I said …. “its over there”. But what she actually meant was she wanted a Wispa, the new thing in chocolate bars from Cadbury at the time!!!!!!!! We’re still giggling to this day.

How did you explain these pictures at the police station?
A couple of years ago I went to Hull and popped into the public loos which are Victorian and quite famous and I wanted to take some pictures. I had to hang around for a while until there was no one else there and I felt really seedy and guilty.
