A vicar has complained after being shocked by a recorded female voice in a Shropshire lavatory.

Entering the public lavatory and unbuckling his belt the vicar was startled to hear a female voice call out "welcome!". Residents are now calling in to question the necessity of a recorded speaking voice at all when using the facilities.

A vicar who popped into a public lavatory was so shocked by the recorded message of a female voice saying ‘welcome’ he has complained to the town council that he thought a woman had followed him in. Now residents in Church Stretton, Shropshire, are being asked for their views on the female voice at the refurbished unisex facilities.

LOL! Imagine if the toilet would have been the giant man-eating plant in "Little Shop of Horrors". "FEED ME!!!"

When I was in Japan a year ago, they had the same kind of thing, only the toilet was in the shape of a face and I had no idea what it was saying.
