COLUMN: FOR the last year the Bath Star has endeavoured to highlight the good, the bad and ugly from Bath's range of public toilets.

For our final edition we thought we'd get off our high horse and allow you, valued reader, to see the Bath Star's own not-so-public conveniences.

Yes, for more than a year we have enjoyed picking holes in other people's standards. But what of our own? Surely we must demand the highest levels of appearance and hygiene after seeing so many sub-human loos?

Well, let us be your guide...

Toilet Roll Award: Five loo rolls out of five

Opening hours: 24 hours a day, seven days a week time is no obstacle when it comes to providing Bath with a quality weekly newspaper.

Lighting: So professional that it turns on with a gradual fade up rather an unpleasant few blinks and an annoying flicker. Three inch wide studio lights do the rest.

Drying/Washing facilities: When the newspaper ink rubs off onto our hands, the facilities presented at the Bath Star office are just right. A sparkling white basin sits underneath a good sized mirror whilst a dispenser of thin, crispy paper towels make drying a painless task.

Decor: All white with a few suspicious holes in the wall filled in with filler.

Bouquet: Very airy.

Cleanliness: First class. Indeed, staff have often eaten lunch down here.

Worth visiting?: Always.
