A little light reading is often a requirement when heading to the toilet.
But if you didn’t have a magazine to hand while visiting one of the public toilets captured below, it wouldn’t present a problem.
Every one is home to some rather creative graffiti, with vandals having cleverly used door handles, marks in the wall, empty toilet roll holders and signs to inspire their artwork.
