The Gibraltar Chronicle, one of the oldest continually-published newspapers in the world, and one that we at CampoPulse often look to for reference, is not known for its sense of humour. Therefore we are very pleased to 'reprint' this item that appeared today on the august journal's online version. Of course, we are very close to April Fool - although the idea of a pissoir (a much more delicate French word for toilet, no?) close to the loop is not new, it is most certainly warranted. The article reads as follows, with the sub-headline as copied above:
Development Minister Joe Holliday opens one of the toilets at Europort with a bargain investment of one pee for 50p.Gibraltar Government yesterday announced the installation of seven modern and automated public toilets around the city. The new public conveniences are located in the area of the frontier, Winston Churchill Avenue, Waterport Road, Eurotowers, Commonwealth Parade car park and Grand Parade.
The project was officially commissioned yesterday by Deputy Chief Minister Joe Holliday who has been leading the initiative.
