Lord Gladstone: Stop Breaking Our Toilet Seats

In a long rant to social media last night (August 21), Sydney venue The Lord Gladstone urged punters to stop breaking their toilet seats.

Paired with a range of photos of their toilets with cracked seats and missing toilet roll holders, the caption spoke on “morons” who ruin the bathrooms for fun.

The post also included screenshots of the prices the venue has to pay each time this happens - which, according to them, is “conservatively” over 20 times a year. With toilet seats at a price point of $30 each, and toilet roll holders at a more expensive $95, The Lord Gladstone would be losing around $2000 a year on this - which, as they said, is “bit of fkn coin hey?”

“We replace this shit multiple times a year. We also need to pay bands, DJs, visual artists, staff, suppliers, security, rent on the pub and the fkn rest,” the post read.

“Look we’ve had enough, and I know 99% of the people that come here have got our back and aren’t absolute fkn peanuts when it’s pee pee or poo poo time. So I’m gonna replace these one more time, then that’s it, no more toilet seats and no more toilet paper holders in the bathrooms.”

The Chippendale local pub also threatened to ban anyone who participates in this vandalism, calling on fellow customers to “snitch” if they see someone destroying the bathrooms.

“If you see some cun taking the piss, give us a yell. Only so we can bar them and keep the Gladdy community seated while they piss and poo, because deadset, all you cunce better start doing squats and working on them quads, coz ya gonna be hovering harder than Marty McFly in back to the future on his fkn hover board when I don’t replace the seats again and ya needa take a nice long sit down piss or shit.”

This isn’t the first time The Lord Gladstone has made headlines lately. In May, the pub caused quite the stir by barring Sky News Australia First Edition host Peter Stefanovic for allegedly “using his platform to embarrass and intimidate a child” on national television, after his controversial interview with Northern Territory fishing champion Keegan Payne.
