Not aware of it being a legal requirement... Nothing obvious in the
building regs that I have seen either.

I have "been" in several bathrooms on ground and upstairs levels with clear
windows, usually with nets and curtains or blinds, I prefer it.

Why did Concorde have frosted glass in the loo compartment window? Who is
going to look in at 60,000ft?? ;-)

if you own an airfield, they`re difficult to hide... people notice the
odd jet going in and out...

....consequently the government know where 80% of the airfields are :-p

Wasn't there a sketch by someone like Hancock or Kenneth Williams tapping on
the flight deck window and asking to let in, whilst complaining it was a bit
cold at 30.000 ft ?!

Almost; Hancock was a test pilot & Williams the mechanic working on the tail
when he took off. Includes memorable lines like "Get your boot of my joystick"
and "What does this do" "Don't touch that!" "bang"

If the window has any height, you can put a net on the
"bottom" half.... this works well with sliding sash windows.

Just be aware that obscure glass does not necessarily mean you cant
see in. Test it when its dark outside and youve got the loo light on,
migh be some suprises. Curtains.

Many years ago I said that I didn't want pebble glass in our casement
windows in the bathroom, it was a waste of the view .Spouse replaced them
with one single double glazed panel which does have a blind but we rarely
use it. I love seeing the garden through the clear glass, it's the best view
in the whole house. Yes, I can see the neighbours from our backside (as they
introduced themselves) and they can see us but wotthehell archie ...

The lavatory is separate from the bathroom, that also has clear glass.
No-one could possible see what was going on in there so there isn't even a
blind. I love to see the night sky from there, the moon, stars ... which
have been denied me from the back door since Spouse erected the car port.

Even if our doings could be seen it wouldn't bother me.

Reminds me the story I heard, probably here, some time ago.
Loft conversion with bathroom installed and velux windows.
None of the neighbours had the guts to tell the owner what
a perfect view they had of her bathing on warm summer nights
with the window open to the horizontal level and forming an
excellent mirror for anyone looking up from the street below.

No, the angles are such that a peeping Tom would have to be suspended
from a hot air balloon in order to cop an eyeful of my bits, which are
not a pretty sight, doubtless leading him to throw himself out of the
basket in order to bring the horrible pictures in his mind to a close.

You said it much more eloquently than I could! That's exactly right,
though. I, too, could gaze out at the sky from my bath. In my next

It depends on the paper. The Times offers "Sex with Dr Thomas Stuttaford and

It would depend on the bather, but it is at least allowing of the
possibility, unlike any proposed coupling of the two aforementioned
individuals.
