2015 Loos of the Year!

I'm not pulling your chain, but elsewhere last year I reported that Hastings Borough Council toilets had won a plethora of awards, and I was taken aback when I noticed more award certificates pinned to the wall of the Pelham Beach loos, and I had to go and talk to Judy Pebody at the Stade loos, where there are even more certificates. Judy had been the star of a 2014 television documentary about the awards given by LOYA, the Loo of the Year Awards.

The standards of toilets across the country are investigated by LOYA, from those in shopping centres to those in restaurants and hotels, and from those in schools to those by beaches; LOYA have 60 categories in all and awards are given to the best loos in each category. This news is so up to date I can't even find the latest results on their website! Though not so up to date that it hasn't already been published elsewhere, it so happens, the trouble with not receiving press releases...  

Among the awards won this year are the 'Local Authority Trophy' for Premier League winner, an overall highest grade of 'Platinum' for the town's loos, and Judy won the 2015 UK 'Attendant of the Year Award', for the second year in a row, nice one Judy!
