“Oooh!” you say. “I want to live in a public bathroom, yes I do!”

To which I reply, “Sorry, dear reader, but it’s Not For Sale Wednesday and this house is not for sale.”

This former public restroom, former ammunition depot is being rented by a couple who fixed it all up and made it into a rather charming house. (I have the impression that everything in England is a rental with, like, 500 year leases, and in theory the queen could evict everyone if she wanted to, and wouldn’t that be a busy day for U-Haul?)

I raise my mug in a toast to people who can look at a public lavatory — that’s the “before” picture on top — see past 100 years of use by the public for all sorts of unpleasant things, and figure out how to fix the place up; me, I still have pictures hanging on the wall that are just where we stuck ‘em because the previous owners had nails there. Cheers!
