I am referring to the ugly public toilet block that sits on the grounds of one of Brighton’s biggest tourist attractions, The Pavilion Gardens and Royal/Brighton Pavilion.
Around 400,000 people visit the Pavilion annually and the gardens are gleefully full of lovely folk sitting about enjoying the views of the Pavilion, drinking tea and noshing good cake at the cafe or just hanging out with friends and family on the lawns. Children and babies too. So, so many of these poor unsuspecting people must use this toilet block.

It’s like a scene from SAW, and one never knows if someone sinister will crash out of a cubicle or if we can piss straight on the floor. I feel safer wearing headphones. The smell in there could raise the dead and the toilets are always filthy with dirty mirrors and slippery wet floors with paper towels scattered about, yet there’s often an attendant holed up in his clean, odour-free room. 2 out of 3 hand-dryers might not be working, but help yourself to the paper towels scattered about. You might even notice a friendly patron willing to offer you a happy ending.

Read moreMet up with ex-hub in Brighton when visiting from Hampshire for a coffee and cake - well I had the cake.
This cafe has been here for donkey's years. When I was 8 or 9 years old (which was 61 years ago) I remember having tea and rock cakes here and apparently they use the same recipe for the rock cakes now which are made on the premises.
The rock cakes taste just the same, but now there's lovely latte as well which wasn't available years ago.
If it's a nice day this is such a lovely venue and it's a hidden gem. All ages sitting around enjoying the gardens and a coffee or cup of tea. ...
