Re: [OM] Nathan's PAD 13/6/2017: morning walk in Brussels

[John Hudson]

There were two or three other identical structures in the immediate 
vicinity.
Most likely built courtesy of EU infrastructure funding from Brussels :-)

We saw several low rise building structures and castle rejuvenation  
projects across southern Portugal each year from 2014 to last March 
bearing brass plaques attributing some, or all, of the financing thereof 
to Brussels' EU financial generosity.
Perhaps attractively designed and functional outhouses are part of an EU 
drive to improve public health and relieve calls of nature in hot summer 
climates :-)
