Norway or Sweden as a wide guess
Sitting in the passenger seat
I was in the passenger seat yes. For 4 hours babysitting a trailer
Norway is correct. They have the weirdest loo on the left of the block. All of them you have to paddle to get to but the one on the left looks like you have to attempt childbirth to use it. Not my scene at all

Yes just like that but metal. Considering the statistics for the number of people who die on the bog I think I’ll stick to what I know

I didn’t need the flag because you’d said earlier that it was Norway.
The big clue for me was that you’d said you were waiting for a trailer swop.

Yes, that type of toilet is forever known as a ‘spreadaxle’ and was very common in Italy in the early 80s.

One of the restaurants near ONT (?) Milan had one that served multi uses.
Put a wooden false floor over the porcelain bowl and it became a shower!

Yes, I remember that type, but TBH I’m struggling to think of exactly where I saw one.
My foggy memory is telling me it was somewhere around Savona, probably in the Port or the area nearby cos it would be around the time we were delivering concrete pipes for onward shipment to Libya, so 1985/6 ish?
Am off to Milan later today so will keep an eye out
I should be sleeping now but here I am on TNUK
they have them in the changing area/locker room at Palermo shipyard .I spent what seemed like ages (it was turtle time )wandering round looking for a loo before I realised that’s what they were
