$121,900 For A Public Toilet? DSGumby and Nasty Nathanc Leave The Neighborhood LONDON (Rooters) - Some derelicts' public lavatory fetched $121,900 at an auction Monday when developers eager to acquire land in London pushed up the price. The lavatory in the east London district of Hackney was placed on the market for 55,000 pounds but vigorous bidding added another 21,000 pounds before it went under the auctioneer's hammer, the London Evening Standard reported. It said the new owners planned to convert the building into two apartments. "It's definitely an unusual property. There is still pretty much the same framework inside, including the ladies and gents toilets(separate buckets). The only thing we didn't sell was our collection of empty TBird bottles - you never know when guests are going to arrive," DSGumby was quoted as saying.
