Ode to the Scottish Public Toilet

Ok, I know this is way late, considering that we were in Scotland over the summer, but every time I use the bathrooms at the university here, I think with longing and affection of the public toilets in Scotland. You see, they had hot water. Every public toilet I was in. Hot water. In August. The level of cleanliness was generally good, if not equal in every place, but the availability of hot water for scouring my hands was like manna from heaven.

If only German public toilets were so accommodating. Here, there is only a cold tap, hence, no chance in hell of hot water. It makes me weep, this lack.
