minus-squareAnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前 Rather amazingly, set into its outside wall on the street is a pissoir. The “Herren WC” sign is a little misleading, as there is neither WATER nor a CLOSET." How wonderful!
minus-squaremoitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 年前This is actually misinformation and misleading. The sign says like on the picture. My link was for the illustration.

minus-squaremoitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 年前Herren means “men”. “WC” means toilets, the place, in this case. I get the pun but it’s not the best one. The water is accessible on the front by the way.
