80p for a piss.

This must be the most expensive slash in the world. I was on a train but the loos are unwelcoming to say the least, so, needing to point Percy at the porcelain, I waited until I got to the station in Lodz.

As is usually the case, a sullen and rather matronly female sat on the other side of a small window with the price 3.50zl fixed above it, that's about 80p. When I handed over my coins she furnished me with two sheets of toilet paper. Two exceedlingly rough sheets I might add. What you are supposed to do with two sheets of bog roll I don't know.

The foul stench that met me when I entered the urinal and the piss puddles I had to step over confirmed yet again that in Eastern Europe good value for money is hard to come by.
