minus-squaremoitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoThis is actually misinformation and misleading. The sign says like on the picture. My link was for the illustration.
minus-squareAnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI don’t know what “Herren” means, but WC stands for water closet. It sounds to me like there isn’t any running water or stalls.
minus-squaremoitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoHerren means “men”. “WC” means toilets, the place, in this case. I get the pun but it’s not the best one. The water is accessible on the front by the way.
