The charity bookshop use to be a hairdressers with proper toilets from what I can remember. Odd that it now has a chemical toilet…. surely all the shops units there have a water supply and drainage to the mains sewer pipes.
Anyway never mind…and I’m glad to hear that’s all it was and that everyone is ok.
