Trump called Norway a "shithouse nation". VisitNorway - the tourist board - responded with their public loos located amidst the dramatic landscape. Expert trolling!
And now I want to visit Norway. I sure as hell have no wish to visit America as it is!
@patrickhadfield
I did a map of Scottish toilets a while back: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3899463
@mikerspencer that could be really useful!!!
It is a shame they probably don't have the architecture of those in Norway though!
@patrickhadfield @mikerspencer But possibly more convenient….
@Wen
In osmand you can add toilet as a point of interest layer, very useful when travelling!
You can also add any other class of map feature, eg bakery, play park, campsite.
@patrickhadfield
@mikerspencer If that is really "a map of Scottish toilets", then y'all got some serious health problems.
If it's actually a map of Scottish PUBLIC toilets, then it's grossly inadequate, but possibly survivable.
@2legged
If only I'd written explaining notes, oh I did 😂
@patrickhadfield
@mikerspencer your post here omitted the crucial word PUBLIC
@mikerspencer @patrickhadfield That is dedication (or a weak bladder)
@Wen
I got featured alongside Ian Rankin in a news article, I'll take that. Plus, I was working in gov research at the time. Access to facilities is important.
@patrickhadfield
@mikerspencer @patrickhadfield Access to a loo is alway important 🤣
Trump moved them up into a shit house from a shit hole.....
@patrickhadfield Norway is beautiful, have only been there professionally twice with the truck back in the days I was driving internationally, but it’s high on my wish list.
@patrickhadfield well done, Norway! I agree that the US is definitely not the place to visit given the state its in(and I say that as someone who has a long distance husband who lives there, and who vehemently agrees that others should stay away currently, if they possibly can.)
Nov 2, 2026, 12:15 PMI've just been in Norway for two weeks, and I can recommend going...
@patrickhadfield "Who knew that public toilets could be this Instagram-worthy?" Whoever did this really had fun. :) Love it!
