A LOT of people, myself included, have thought the idea of closing loos in Oxford a ridiculous move.

Many have also wondered why the council wants to do it.

I can settle that last problem for them. The council has at last admitted to itself what it really is.

The horror this generates in their minds is that if the public gets the same realisation, it will think it hygienically proper to flush the council down a toilet.
