Please wash your hands after reading

For most posts on this blog, I tend to reference tools that are more funny than functional. But hey - if something is both, then high fives all round.

There's nothing funny about being absolutely busting for a leak, with no apparent hope of lavatorial relief for miles (well, it's funny if it happens to someone else).

Relief is at hand, if you'll pardon the double pun, because there's a new Google Maps based tool that shows the location (and rating) of hundreds of thousands of public toilets. Particularly gloriously thank-you-so-much-you've-saved-my-life helpful on a mobile phone. I can hear the universal chorus of relieved unzipping and 'aaahhhs' as a I type.

Toilets are naturally funny, so it's great that the creators have stayed on-brand by calling it Sit Or Squat.
