@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 when you gotta go, you gotta go!

@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....

@Giles any chance we’ll see you tomorrow night casually floating up the Seine?

[Giles]

None I am afraid. We are currently lounging around in Trinité sur mer and would not swap it the world….

[Matt]

I don’t blame you one bit.

I live in North Liberty, Iowa this happened the first week I moved there about a block from my new home.

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa (AP) -- The naked swordsman is pleading guilty. Curtis Rarick of North Liberty, Iowa, was accused of chasing his neighbors with a sword. His neighbors told police a nude Rarick was standing in his front yard and they complained. According to the neighbors, Rarick got upset then ran into his house, came back out, and threatened them with a sword. He's now pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon. Rarick will be sentenced next month and faces up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

@Giles that looks chocolate box.

[goosehd]

I have absolutely no idea what that means…

[seawolf]

@goosehd “Chocolate box is used to describe traditional English countryside or village scenes. It comes from paintings that were printed on the front of chocolate boxes”

[Matt]

@goosehd Duh!!!

[Brian]

@goosehd I’m English and have no idea either
Then saw @seawolf reply and then it made sense if I was my great grandmothers age

[goosehd]

@Matt ….well, your ass looks “chocolate box” in your new jeans!

Do I mean:

1. your ass looks fat
2. your ass looks phat
3. your ass looks like it belongs on a box of chocolates as an advertisement
4. your ass looks so good, that I want to eat it all up

@seawolf Please forgive me as it’s a colloquialism I had never heard before. I have heard of people using the Currier and Ives version of it though.
