Passing comment

Sir,

Several hundred quid to sit at Eau Rouge for my nine-year-old’s first Grand Prix at glorious Spa is just about bearable. But when nature called the options were either to hunt down an elusive blue portable facility offering the equivalent of an open bucket (unisex of course), or to shell out around 60p for the privilege.

Someone, somewhere was certainly taking the p*** in Belgium!
