BUILDER LOO BLUES – DRAIN DOCTOR NEEDS YOUR LOOFIE!

Portable toilets on construction sites are not the most photogenic of subjects. But builders can now win cash – or a holiday in Looe – simply by taking a picture of one.  

Drain Doctor, the UK’s premier combined plumbing and drainage company, is offering over £1,000 worth of prizes in a competition to find the oldest, the most unusual or the most unusually situated outside loo. All you need is a ‘loofie’! 

What’s a loofie? Well, it’s a sort of ‘selfie’ – but of a loo; a picture of an outside toilet – not one in a house or an office or other building. A privy on a construction site in the middle of nowhere, perhaps – or in the middle of a city street. The location and the 'backdrop' for the photo are more likely to win the prize than a close up of the loo itself. 

A weekend away in Looe at a hotel consistently rated five-stars with a certificate of excellence on Trip Advisor, with a prize hamper and two tickets to the Eden Centre, or £1,000 in cash are up for grabs to the person who sends a ‘loofie’ of an outside toilet in the most unusual situation.  

Drain Doctor managing director Robin Banks said: “You don’t need to be in the photo (or in the loo). It’s just the picture of the loo that we want. Or several pictures.  

“And what’s a winning loofie? It’s one that amuses, intrigues or entertains our judge. It’s as simple as that. So, if you can, tell us a bit about the loo as well as sending the loofie. Where is it located? Why is it there? Do you know how old it is (you can get extra ‘points’ for a really old outside loo!)? Is it in use? 

“All you need to do is take your loofie and post it on Drain Doctor’s Facebook page or enter via Twitter. Don’t worry if you don’t have a social media account, simply email your loofie to john@olsenmetrix.com.”  

Closing date is Friday 25 March 2016. So go take your loofie now and send it in!
