My old sparring partner Chris Boswell's constant humorous jibes reference the long-term lack of public conveniences in Oxford city has had a strange effect on city councillors.

They are actually talking of rectifying the problem by updating and providing new toilet facilities and not before time.

Chris might even find one named after himself, I can picture the green neon sign above the door, 'Boswell's Bog' has a certain ring to it. Power to your pen Chris.
