magic toilet.

Post by Smivs »

Hi all,
Were you aware that in Toxteth, Liverpool, there is a magic toilet that turns into a convenience store as you walk past? :shock:
Have a look here on The Register.

LOL, and it only exists if you stand just in the right place. Move along the roads in any direction by one click of the mouse and it's not a store, it's a toilet. Perhaps it's some sort of cloaking device??? :wink:

i think somehow Google got their photos messed up in regard to dates...

The convenience store is the rebuild public loo, that's why it seems so seamless.

You can even see how the roof the loo matches the repainted yellow roof of the convenience store.

if you drive down behind the loo, you can even see rubble as it is undergoing the rebuild...

also the green billboard changes when the convinience store is there..
so it is only a date mix up, im afraid, however funny timewarp

Cheers Frame...

Everyone thinks it's funny, but you wouldn't if you were bursting for a pee and the darned thing kept changing into a convenience store :x
