HATS off to the newly revamped loos in Market Street.

An early arrival in Oxford for a hospital appointment however, meant that even though it was 8.20am we were obliged to use the overnight loo (also revamped apparently).

As usual it was absolutely disgusting, a chat to the lovely male cleaner informed me that the loos were meant to be open at 8am, but the overnight loo was blocked full of needles which were down the pan, which was why it was almost overflowing and stinking.

I eventually used the loos at lunchtime and was pleasantly surprised, although we had a chuckle at one vast tome of reading material – obviously for someone with very severe constipation going by the size of it.

Personally, I would prefer hand-basins to the ‘wall wash’, but I hope folks will appreciate them and not leave them in the state the overnight toilet was in.

I felt for the wonderful cleaner, it was truly revolting.

Incidentally, what is it with the UKIP candidates in their election manifesto?

Only one declared details or faces.

Only one candidate of another persuasion bothered to put leaflets round, presumably our votes were not wanted by others.

If you want us to vote, tell us who you are, what you will hopefully do for us and why we should vote for you, or you may find we might not bother.

I don’t think the invisible man/woman actually has a slot on a ballot paper.

Mind you, there’s always a first time for everything.

DOROTHY HOLLOWAY (Mrs), Wenrisc Drive, Minster Lovell.
