They're quite superior - pictures on the walls, vase of flowers next to the sinks, I think even classical music playing all the time. Isn't there a Bond film (with Blofeld) that includes Bond climbing up the outside of a skyscraper and entering via Blofeld's toilet that doubles as a command centre?

I remember seeing those as a kid in the late 70's, early 80's. (The ashtrays in the toilet, not men smoking on toilets) Then as people realized smoking will kill you and stricter anti-smoking laws came into place, the ashtrays disappeared. Do cars even have them in the backseat armrests anymore for kids to put their a.b.c. gum? Man is that a throw-back to a by-gone era. I remember seeing those as a kid in the late 70′s, early 80′s.

Are you saying there was just an ashtray and no toilet paper?! Just to pick a nit… you wrote, “where the toilet paper might be”. Are you saying there was just an ashtray and no toilet paper?!

To add to that, the floor tiles were somewhat reflective (although not perfectly, thank god), and each time he took a drag, I could see the end of his fag glow. It was kind of entertaining. As for the placement of the ashtray, isn't that just a toilet stall inferno waiting to happen? Can you imagine an entire roll of toilet paper going up in flames? Glorious.
