A
Tinkle Back in Time

| A convenience that could have done with the attentions of Dan Dan |
The toilets that I visited in one particular parish
hall in Staffordshire resulted in my taking a tinkle down memory lane. It was the
avocado hue that was the major giveaway that this littlest room had last been
renovated sometime during the 1980s. The boards separating each of the three
cubicles was that kind of mucky green that yelled 1985. Within each cubicle,
white porcelain topped with a shiny black seat and lid. Once I had yanked the
chrome handle (not pressed the button, as one is usually required to do these
days), I went to wash my hands at the little row of sinks. The splashback
tiles were decorated with that kind of harvest festival design that splattered every ye olde
country style kitchen when I was a girl. Except the flowers were definitely avocado
in shade, not the usual branflake. Finally, I exited using a brass knob tacked onto a plywood covered
door. These handles were exactly the same as those used in my best friend’s 1980s
bungalow when I was 10.
