WELCOME to the Bath Star's guide to the quirkiest, most interesting and downright odd websites that lurk a mouse click away deep in the depths of cyberspace.

www.britloos.co.uk

This is the homepage of the British Toilet Association, a watchdog, set up in 1999, to act as a "catalyst for change in the pursuit of standards of excellence in all areas of public toilet provision and management."

The website, decked out in an appropriate shade of light blue, is produced by people who clearly mean business and, with the success of the Bath Star's own Toilet of the Week campaign, know the value of making people aware of the plight of our public loos.

On the site you can check out the latest news (including an update on the 5th Annual Conference & Exhibition for the British Toilet Association Conference), buy a book of the Fifty of the Best Loos in Britain, become a member or nominate a toilet for the association's Loo of the Year awards.

All this may sound a bit much for improving the conditions in which to spend a penny, yet the website justifiably argues the importance of our public toilets a "shop window' for any area or establishment, where first and lasting impressions of levels of customer care are made."

At every corner the reader is bombarded with claims about the decline of Britain's loos.

Yet if anyone has taken a step into many of Bath's public conveniences, you can be assured that all the BTA's efforts are certainly not in vain more power to them.
