CRAPPER SNAPPER HAS THE SHIT BEATEN OUT OF HIM

‘Misunderstanding’ when Pete took photo of men in Redcar public toilet

A MAN who set out to photograph all 8,367 PUBLIC TOILETS in the UK has given up his quest after he was mistaken for a pervert and BEATEN unconscious.

Pete Marshall set out on his Land’s End to John O’Groats odyssey to highlight the loss of municipal shithouses across Britain.

The 46- year- old had snapped more than 2,000 crappers and posted the results on his website.

But he ran into trouble in the seaside resort of Redcar, Teesside, where locals thought he was a sex snoop.

Pete, of Reading, Berks, said: “I tried to explain my mission to these gentlemen but they thought I was a perv. They gave me a proper pasting.

“At first I thought they had massively overreacted to catching a man with a camera lurking near urinals.

“But I suppose on reflection the sight of someone else’s lens near to your flowing todger could be a cause for concern.

“I know from personal experience just how off- putting it can be to try to take a piss when someone is stranding uncomfortably close.

“So perhaps they had a point when they grabbed the camera out of my hands, threw it to POO TROUBLE: The gents’ bog where Pete got twatted by locals the floor and proceeded to smack my teeth in.

“I woke up caked in dried blood on the piss- soaked floor.

“I can’t be certain, but I reckon they pissed on me, too.

“I was covered in it, it definitely wasn’t mine. Mine smells of Sugar Puffs, or occasionally chilli con carne.

“And they stole the camera, too. So I decided when I woke up to give up the toilet project.”

Pete says he’ll now concentrate on his new project – photographing every kids’ playground in Britain – which he reassuringly reckons will be “much safer”.
