A man was freed from the toilet after four days. When he had visited the convenience in an Aberdeen pub, the handle on the door broke. With no means of calling for help (he had no mobile phone, shouting wasn't heard), he kept himself alive by drinking tapwater. The cleaner arrived, and finally did hear his cries for help. The man was none the worse for his ordeal.
OMG how horrible!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Pub only cleans the rest room every 4 days........yuk!

This just goes to show you, the toilets should be checked regularly and certainly at night at closing time it's ridiculous that he was'nt even heard.
ReplyDeleteA pub close to mine in Middlesex about 6 years ago the same thing happend, an electrition had been doing some work in the pub, visited the disabled toilet which in most pubs are rarely used, he suffered a heart attack and died and it was 4 days before he was found, the owner responding to phone calls from his family thought he had left.

I can imagine that -- yikes!!
ReplyDeleteWell, at least he could get water and have a place to go potty. I can think of worse places to be stuck for 4 days. Like an elevator for instance...no water & no potty. Linda in Washington
ReplyDeleteYou mean to say no one frequented the pub for 4 days?! Very strange indeed. - Barbara
ReplyDeleteThere's a deja vu sensation running through my mind here. Wasn't there an old lady (hark at me talking) who did something similar in a public convenience over the weekend not so long ago? What is this plethora of folks being stuck in loos all about really? Are they secretly craving media attention...lol!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it was just as well it was a convenience he was stuck in...he must have been freezing unless he had the hand driers on all night. Sheesh!
