"Ooh, my throat is sore today. Anyone got any lozenges?" "Try the toilet"

Last week Moon was bemoaning the vending machines in Nottingham nightclubs, and the items vended therein. Earlier today I was at the Institute of Public Health in Cambridge. Nature called and on visiting the amenities, I was greeted by this badboy:


I'd never seen anything like it. Let's take a closer look at the treats on sale:


Plasters, sanitary towels, condoms and headache remedies. Chuck in sherbet UFOs and that sounds like a cracking weekend! That one second from the bottom? Shoe polish. Clearly, a better class of toilet clientele than Nottingham. Maybe toilet vending machines could be used in a similar manner to the maps of the UK that the Government released this week - the location of toilets selling pregnancy tests compared with those flogging shoe polish.

    I saw a machine today that sold pain killers amongst the usual delights. Including more pregnancy tests (over 99% accurate!). And the location? Leeds Metropolitan University.

    Sanitary towels in the gents...?! The machine in the gents at the national Theatre (backstage) has all the usual delights plus some Nivea Creme in case your having a chafing problem.
