Restroom Photography by Tøm

January 7th, 2008 11:19 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Take a picture of a public restroom. It should be Muddy Waters, if convenient.

This is the toilets at the Troll cart restaurant in Great Yarmouth (owned by Weatherspoons)

The cool thing about this restroom, is that they have a Dyson Airblade hand dryer,which creates a 'blade' of air which you stick your hands through and it dries them, really well. And apparently it does it quicker than conventional hand driers and is better for the environment.

And thats always good.


The rest of the restroom was pretty normal, there was a wet floor sign, but that's to be expected in a public mens room.

You stick your hands in the top, it makes a wooshy noise and you come away feeling amused and confident in technology, anything that can dry your hands THAT quick has gotta be good!

A vote for the airblade! I'm jealous, actually, as I was trying to locate an airblade here in SF for my Restroom Photograph. I gave up looking and just did the Tacobell one, but still want to find an airblade to try it out.

Did you try it and did it work as well as promised?

I did, and it does. It dries hands bone dry.

I'm glad I found a restroom with a quirk, I wasn't going to submit a completion for this task till I did.


I didn't even know about these, yet my family were astounded and my mum wouldn't believe there was one, have these been on the news whilst I stuck my head in the sand or what?

Something about Dyson always strikes me as so very British. As though now that the Brits have come along and had a go at it we can finally all rest easy with dry hands. It amuses me greatly.
