Adam Ant and the Public Facilities


I find some really interesting/strange information while surfing around the web. Do you remember the 80’s (I think…) rocker called Adam Ant? Do you know where he got his name?

There is a site called 10 best urinals in the world (honest!). One of the featured facilities is in England: the public restrooms at Rothesay. This public Victorian bathroom is in full working order & retains the very stylish marble, glass and porcelain fixtures of a bygone era. Urban myth in the UK/Pop music world has it that an erstwhile Brit popstar, now turned to acting in the US, found the inspiration for his stage name while using a similarly branded 'easement' facility, hence: "Adam Ant"
