Man learns casino losses not deductible
LONDON, March 5 (UPI) -- Officials in London said they paid $756 compensation to a jogger who was locked in a public toilet for 17 hours on Christmas Day.
London's Southwark Council said the man, whose name was not released, was accidentally locked in the Dulwich Park men's room by an attendant who did not check to see if the building was empty before locking the doors Christmas Eve, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday.
CCTV footage of the man depicts him wearing a garbage bag and sitting under hand dryers to stay warm. He was freed when the doors were unlocked the following afternoon.
Officials indicated the attendant, a worker on a temporary contract, is no longer employed by the council.
