A Most 'Exeloo'-ent Loo...
I've recently discovered this one just down the road, in a sport complex next to the cricket ovals. I went for a run this morning, but had to use the facilities before I got going. You know what happens with impact exercise and bladders.
What did I find, but this... the Exeloo! (Sorry Mom! Broadband required, it's 75 MB.)
Automatic doors, automatic toilet paper, automatic soap, automatic handwash, automatic air dry, and automatic flushing! It's just so damn hard to remember to flush the toilet when finished.
Wait! There's more... the loo cleans itself! I wonder if there are any implementations of this technology coming to home bathrooms...
Apologies for the dirty bowl, but that's the worst of Joe Public for ya. What a fascinating modern age we live in. Fighter jets, space shuttles, commercial airliners that fly themselves, smart houses, mass spectrometers, refrigerators, breathable waterproof clothing, computer designed baseball bats, bottled water, mass produced golf pencils, and fully-automatic, music-playing, self-flushing wonderloos.

A most excellent Loo!
I have heard about these in BC. Does this one have alarms that go off if you stay inside too long? They were doing a radio show on CBC called the Hidden City and public toilets was one of their episodes and they were talking to a city manager about these (outside of one) and a poor guy got stuck inside it while they were doing their interview. Of course he had to speak another language and they had to find someone to interpret for them the instructions to get out. They also were doing the interview inside the loo and they stayed inside it too long and the lights went out and that's when the alarm went off. I guess it is to reduce loitering.
One question though. Was their advertizing in this one? The ones in BC are put up by the same company that has the contract for public benches and bus stops so they pay for them by plastering ads all over them.

That is awesome. Kyle you just made my week with that little video.

Regarding the time limit... Bathroom Readers beware! There's a 10 minute time limit, after which the door automatically opens and the alarms go off.
No advertising - paid for in full by council.
That's so awsome :) You need more videos on here of you and what you are seeing "down" there!
There you go....I have lived a mere hop, skip and a jump from this park and its associated public convenience for 7 years and never knew of its existence.
Ah you make me laugh Kyle! Never a tosser shall you be!
Cheers mate
Catch you when you get back from Buchan Off.
