If your toilet is not currently engaged, we could have the perfect partner in one of these lovely loos:

Latrine number 1

From: DRC

Latrine number 2

Hates: Lemon-scented air freshener
Favourite love song: Your Lav is King, Sade 



Latrine number 3

From: Burundi
Shunned in the past for its non-traditional look, this latrine refuses to conform
Loves: Accessorising (especially with bamboo)
Hates: That boring brick look
Favourite love song: Love is a Loo-sing Game, Amy Winehouse



Latrine number 4

From: Burundi
The tousled hair-do hides a stable and dependable latrine that just wants to make someone feel safe and special
Loves: People who sing or whistle in the toilet

Latrine number 5 

From: Burundi
This latrine likes its privacy and spending one-to-one time with loved ones
Loves: Crafts, patchwork and interior design
Hates: Flies and mosquitoes
Favourite love song: How Deep is Your Lav, The Bee Gees

  1. Feeling at a loo-se end and would love to link up with Number 5 - I too love privacy and am a very crafty loo, my decor including images of sea creatures (some ferocious) to repel all bar the most desperate users...... we could serenade each other to my favourite tune (Bloo moon by that rock and roller, Elvis). Please say you will be my true loover

  2. Valentine's day sees the return of our daughter after a year working in Ghana. I know she would love to be friends with No4 as that fantastic hairdo would remind her of her husband's first attempt at cutting hers out there! After a year with a pretty primitive loo, UK bathrooms will certainly make them sing - and whistle. But she will never forget her love affair with loos like dear No4. I would love her to have a permanent relationship with the best of Burundi. Please see what you can 'loo' to welcome her home!

  3. Toilet in ramshackle Baptist church serving Welsh council estate feels outdone by posh loos in towering brick chapels built in heady Welsh revival days.Looking to get its own revival going by twinning up with latrine number 3. Decidedly Nonconformist in its theology,only a nonconformist life mate will do. Has own church ecogarden to cultivate bamboo ...

  4. My Loo has a delicate dis-position and is loo-king for a loo-ver that can be relied on in times of difficulty and stress, with the folloo-ing attributes:
    Strong constitution, sence of humour and a certain air about its presence.
    Loo-ves: Looney Toons
    Hates: Wind and pain
    Favourite loo-ve song: " Are you loo-some Tonight?" Elvis
    Lantrine No 1 is making all the right noises

  5. Number 2, its time for me to come out of the closet and declare that my lav for you is overflow-ing. Sometimes its hard to keep a float in this world of ours and a lot of ballcock is spoken, but I realise that its time to stop running and how I feel for you is no flash, or flush, in the pan. Forgive me for wax-ring so lyrical, in fact I’m filling up as I write, but I can see us seat-ed together, float-arm in arm. I was bowl-ed over when I saw your photo and whilst we may both be set in our ways, if U-bend and I bend, I believe we could be truly happy together - no longer loo-sers in lav.
