My friend Ian has this knack for tracking down strange pubs and restaurants. And this one is no exception. It has a spectacular quantity of royal memorabilia absolutely everywhere. Plates. Cups. Tankards. Tea caddies. Photographs. And photographs all over the ceiling of members of the Handlebar Club, who meet on the first Friday of every month. They all have extremely impressive facial hair. I must go back there on one of their meeting nights to admire it.

Anyway, with all that royal memorabilia, the loos were guaranteed to be interesting. Marvellously geriatric green tiles all over, which the flash-free mobile phone camera doesn't even remotely do justice to.


And the best bit...... there was a Charles & Di engagement teatowel on the wall. Words failed me at that point. It was just so....... horrid!


Score: 5/10. Dark, dingy, only one cubicle, but that tea towel.... fantastic!

That towel's enough to bind anyone up!

did you know that there are a terrifying number of groups dedicated to pictures of toilets on Flickr? I bet there's at least one which rates them out of ten like you do.

Also, thank you for reminding me that I need to visit this pub with a camera and snap those facially-enhanced geezers -- been meaning to do that for a couple of years...
