There's a general shortage of public toilets in this country.

Albeit some other apparantly developed countries barely appear to
acknowledge the concept of public toilets, needy people presumably
diving into cafes etc. in order to discharge their business.

It is my understanding that in Germany, at least in some places, pubs and
restaurants get a subsidy from the local authority to make their toilet
available to the general public. Or maybe it was part of their planning
consent or something. Can't remember.
