Bathroom Visit Lasts Four Days

If the cleaner hadn't come for her equipment the poor man may well have been dead by now!

clipped from news.yahoo.com LONDON (Reuters) - A retired Scottish school teacher was recovering on Monday after spending nearly four days trapped inside a men's toilet with no food or mobile phone. David Leggat was locked inside the bathroom at a lawn bowling club near the Scottish city of Aberdeen after the door jammed and the handle on the outside fell off. He was rescued when the cleaner at the club, which is little used in winter, turned up to collect her cleaning equipment. Leggat said a survival course he had once done had helped him endure his captivity. The cleaning lady said he looked shaken and grey when he emerged. Leggat was stoical. "At least there was a toilet to use," he said. "The only thing I regret is not getting trapped behind the bar."
