A TAXI driver who got caught short ended up being locked in a toilet at a car garage for half an hour.

The driver, a 40-year-old man working for an Accrington firm, had slipped unnoticed into the customer toilet inside the Kitchens Garage in Trafalgar Street, Burnley, around 8.30pm on Saturday.

But the door had wedged shut and staff only heard his banging and shouting after 30 minutes.

Workers called the fire service who arrived around 9pm and used breaking in tools to prise the door open.

A spokesman for Burnley Fire Station said: "The staff were unaware he had wandered in and nobody knew he was stuck in there until eventually they heard his banging. He had his mobile phone with him though. His firm must have been wanting to know why he had taken so long!"

Can you remember them automatic toilets that hit ther streets in the 90's?? I had to use one of them after eating a bad curry. They used to cost 2p for about 15 miutes.

I dived in and dropped my trollys and sat down, half way through the automatic door opened and wouldn't close.

Here's me in full view of the public sat on the toilet.

They are now 10p for 20 minutes, you skin-flint!!

So, if you paid 2p you were only entitled to 4 minutes; no wonder the door opened for a public viewing.

BTW, always kick the large orange pad on the right of the door frame; that locks the door.
