Latvian Consulate, Chorley - Nov 2013

PaulPowers · Nov 15, 2013

I needed a poo and was driving through Chorley so I decided to pop in the Latvian Embassy.

It's rare to find a decent crapper in a derp let alone toilet roll worth using but this one had both.

I can't find any history on the site so here is some random info about Latvia

Situated in north-eastern Europe with a coastline along the Baltic Sea, Latvia has borders with Estonia, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania. It has linguistic links with Lithuania to the south and historical and religious ties with Estonia to the north.

Not much more than a decade after it declared independence following the collapse of the USSR, Latvia was welcomed as an EU member in May 2004. The move came just weeks after it joined Nato. These developments would have been extremely hard to imagine in the 51 years when Latvia - like Estonia and Lithuania - was occupied by the Soviet Union.

It's pretty swanky inside with stables, swimming pool, sauna, snooker room, loads of bathrooms, a couple of kitchens and loads of bedrooms.

The decor is a bit dated but the place did close 5 years ago
