Firstly, inside the cubicle, what do you notice?
That's right, not even the first hint of toilet paper. I can't even see the remains of a dispenser. This suggests that the room may never have housed a loo role, or at least not since it was last painted (yes, this is the gents, and yes, the walls appear to be pink).
It's not too dirty, this was early on in the evening. Lets see the main room...
Soap, check, working sink, check, urinals (obviously not in use during my visit), check.
There's a distinct lack of graffiti here, unless you count the adverts for upcoming events jotted down on the wall, for gents to peruse at their leisure while... actually, nothing in particular leads visitors to face that wall.
That hand drier is merely for decoration.
Either the folks of Crewe are not for scrawling, or management is quite efficient at removing any unauthorised daubings, I guess we'll never know. If it is the management thing, they're definitely misdirecting their efforts to graffiti removal instead of essential facilities.
Basically, there's not a great deal I can say that's good about this place, it's not doing it's job, there's nothing to attract me to it (besides the obvious biological requirement) it's basically featureless, lacking in both interest and functionality.
There is one thing, tho. To say in it's favour...
That, right there, is a lock! It's clearly been removed and replaced on numerous occasions. Now, I don't know who it is that kicks locks through in pub toilets, but wherever I go there's a lock deficit in pub gents. Someone appears to remove them on a regular basis and more often than not there's no hint of a repair or replace taking place.
So well done on the lock, Nags Head, but it could really use toilet paper and hand drying facilities.
Goodness, that's like a palace! You should see the ladies! Although there was paper in there (which surprised me as there wasn't last time).
