'High class people socialising in a toilet. I’m sure there’s no COVID in there. It wouldn’t survive the germs,' said one.
'Just lock them up for 14 days in the toilet and let them quarantine there,' wrote another.
'Sorry you have to waste your time on oxygen thieves,' one commented.
'You don’t even want to walk in to a public toilet to pee let alone smoke a shisha!'
