Terrible that anyone would be subjected to paying to use the john for crying 
out loud! Disgusting!

Our federal government in Canada a number of years a go did just that, put 
paying toilets in one of the new air terminals, I think Toronto. But there 
was such an outrage by Canadians right across the country that a person 
would have to pay to use a toilet, the pay stations were all removed. Much 
to the embarrassment of the government.

I can't believe any country or city would be so boorish to charge anyone to 
use a toilet!  My wish would be that those coming up with such a stupid idea 
would at least pee their pants because they didn't have a coin in their 
pocket when they had to go! Then maybe they'd understand the calling of 
nature has no price!

Of course all pay station toilets automatically un-lock if you have a Leica 
hanging off your shoulder! ;-) That's why I've never paid! ;-)
