It's true!

Tried changing a nappy in St Kilda's only loo's a couple of years ago. Reminded me of the scene from "trainspotting".

Sorry my only memory of SK other than the rain - wouldn't go back there even for a coffee.

(Although there are nicer, quieter bits to St K and property can be pricey.)
