Unknown Pranksters Add Toilet And Basin To Bus Shelter: Worplesdon Parish Council Has Nothing To Go On!

Worplesdon Parish Council has asked its residents to share a penny for their thoughts after pranksters provided a new ‘facility’ in Wood Street Village.
Wood Street Village bus shelter with all mod cons!
The parish council’s groundsman discovered some interesting additions including a WC, cistern and a washbasin all fixed to the bus shelter by the village green opposite Pound Lane when he did his rounds on Monday morning (February 23).
Would you spend a penny here?
Parrish clerk Gaynor White said: “Were these intended as bus shelter improvements or money down the drain?
“Although trialled by someone, the new facility has now been removed by the vice-chairman of the parish council and myself. I took the bathroom fittings to the dump at lunchtime today.”
The parish council have no idea who put the items there, so therefore have nothing to go on!
Trying it out soon before the items were removed.

Let’s hope it wasn’t a Banksy installation, or it would be a case of money down the drain for the parish.

Don’t worry – they’ll soon be flush with all the CIL payments.
Hopefully not toilet humour – although we have to maintain standards.

At last, someone who has a sense of humour.
May more events like this occur in the coming months….

A novel way of fly-tipping unwanted bathroom fixtures and fittings.
Now where did I put those old radiators, that fridge and anglepoise lamp?

The Parish Council tried to flush out who left the toilet there, but couldn’t get a handle on it.

Reminds me of some of the things we used to get up to in our youth … Nice to see that humour still exists!
[David Rose: when you say ‘we’ I guess I am included? Think we’d better keep quiet about some of those ‘night walks’.]

I thought it was a comment on the local public transport system. How often has one hung about at a rural bus stop and wondered if one was going to grow a good deal older waiting for the bus!

Perhaps the toilet was for passengers who wait a long time for a buses that do not turn up, and the sink to wash your hands after getting off dirty buses.
