back to article Relief when urine trouble becomes latest capacity-sharing service

Under-utilised-resource-sharing services were last year's darling in startup-land, with the likes of Uber and AirBnb feted for being jolly clever and making rather a lot of money for participants.

      I have been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras many times and I've often been happy to pay the going rate (anywhere from a couple of dollars upward) to use a clean bathroom - many hotels and restaurants with a bathroom close to the entrance charge a fee to visit and for the most part it's well worth paying ... this morning I'll be paying it simply to get my hands under some warm water I suspect - the weather report is for freezing rain and sleet but the parades will roll anyway.

      Sure they will - and the cops will arrest them if they see them. Of course, all the judges are either out of town or in the parades so anyone arrested during Mardi Gras will be in jail for a few days until the judges get back to business.

    Gotta say...

    That had better be one sparklingly clean bathroom for it to be a factor in my vote for any kind of elected office (or a disgustingly dirty one, but I rather doubt he'd be advertising it were that the case).
