---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ben Pollinger benpollinger+osm@gmail.com Date: 20 November 2014 11:39 Subject: [Talk-GB] Great British Public Toilet Map To: OSM Talk-GB talk-gb@openstreetmap.org
Hello all,
The Great British Public Toilet Map [was launched yesterday] providing details of over 8,000 public toilets in the UK including council facilities, train stations, community toilet schemes as well as shopping centres and libraries.
An alarming finding from the research by Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, is just how few public toilets are now available."

So which are free as in beer, free as in graffiti, and free as in not
engaged, then? I think we should be told.

Jonathan Cardy, Stuart Prior and I attended a talk on this at the Open Data Institute back in September, around the corner from us at Silicon Roundabout. The ODI runs an excellent series of free Friday lunchtime lectures http://theodi.org/lunchtime-lectures, so if you're visiting the office, it's one reason to make it a Friday.
