Things a bit quiet on Glen Osmond Road?
The Glen Osmond Road Association puts-out a newsletter for traders and businesses in the area and I happened to see the March 2006 issue of the newsletter. The headline caught my eye:
'INVITATION OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF PUBLIC TOILET...'
The front page of the newsletter is all about the launch of 'the Glen Osmond Road Public toilet.' There's the main text box that explains the great excitement with which the writer announces the launch of the toilet. There's even a separate text box that reminds people of the 'Important date to remember .... ' when the new public toilet is launched ('light refreshments provided by Wokinabox noodle bar and Subway'.)
Unfortunately, we missed attending the event on Tuesday 14 March at 6pm. But the new Public Toilet was officially launched by His Worship the Mayor of Unley, Michael Keenan. I wonder what's the protocol for the Mayor in launching a public toilet - does one break a bottle of champagne on the seat? Is the climax of the opening the ritual flushing of the loo? Does the compere of the launch events have to keep a straight face when introducing the Mayor and other distinguished guests to launch the loo?
Why didn't we see this event on the evening news? Perhaps the Association needs to update its PR capabilities.
Now, I'm wondering, was it a slow news day/week/month on Glen Osmond Road so that the launch of a public toilet became front page and headline news? Or is it a case that the long suffering traders and businesses on Glen Osmond Road now have a place to relieve themselves if taken short? Perhaps it is front page news if that's the case!
So if you are driving on Glen Osmond Road you might want to give a little toot as you pass the new Public Toilet on the corner of Glen Osmond and Kenilworth Roads. Put a smile on the face of any lucky occupant and acknowledge this Great Achievement.
