SMS 'toilet' to find relief

West London "nearest loo" SMS service - blogged about last year - is up and running.

Harried theatre-goers, distressed shoppers and hard-pressed bar patrons in London's West End can now SMS the word "toilet" -- and receive an SMS back giving the address of the nearest public facility.

The system, which covers 40 public toilets, triangulates a user's position by measuring the strength of the phone signal.
