              I’m telling you guys, there are much worse places to be than Gosport.

                  @neph93 does sound good but I guess that’s what travel writers do. Can’t help wondering if the Liverpool thing is down to your influence.

                    @ARNC It seems like a deliberately, even excessively positive piece of writing, as opposed to a balanced evaluation. But my perspective will be different to that of a visitor. And it is nice up here, by all means, but there are a lot of glaringly obvious things about the town that she ignores or underplays. It is for example really fucking ugly, with the exception of the library/concert hall.

                      That was never going to appear in the final article - not unless the writer is planning to retire soon!

                        @ARNC well not in that form, but the way she does acknowledge it makes it seem like a paid advertisement rather than an actual bit of travel writing. I'm increasingly inclined to brutal honesty though...

                          @neph93 shame there isn't a comment section. I would have loved to read your brutal honesty to balance things out

                            We are in Port Louis on the other side of the river from Lorient. The town is stunningly beautiful, but I have to say they could take a leaf out of Gosports book.

                            Here are Gosports public WC's:

                            And here are Port Louis's, I checked and there are not even any sharps disposal bins, Jeez, Port Louis, get with the programme....

                              @Giles One of those looks like it belongs in a prison...also can't figure out why there are so many dent's in those doors.

                                  @goosehd I had occasion to use them once when I was caught short on a dawn fishing raid. I think I would have rather been in the showers in the local supermax prison with a bar of soap and some lifers....
