Here's an inequality which needs to be addressed

Quote:

Section 87 of the Public health act 1936 means that local authorities can charge a fee for use of cubicles but they are prohibited from charging for urinals.

Which means that men should legally always be able to wee for free but women do not automatically have this right. Good old Accy and Blackburn for their free loos - but if I recall correctly York has men's loos where you have to pay and so does Scarborough and Bridlington.

I think there should always be free ones available and they should be open later too. How many times have you gone into McDonalds for a free wee?

Not a massive fan of public toilets, the ones in the Arndale are awful but sometimes you've no choice, I think a wee should be free for all. The ladies loos on Peel street seem ok though. Have used shop toilets when shopping they usually keep them smelling sweeter!

The Arndale ones are a joke - when they were refurbished I thought they might at least have moved the hand drier so it wasn't in the way of anyone trying to get into or out of that far cubicle!

I agree I had to go in with a pram and it was really hard work, are they shut now?

there is also very little consideration of fathers with pushchairs. Its a nightmare finding somewhere I can go for a wee when I have Siobhan with me.

We want to WEE!

I agree with you Entwisi, toilets and the like are more geared up for mothers and thats wrong.

my partner used to agree with that when our daughter was a baby, also have baby changing rooms in the ladies loos, what if he needed to do it, he couldnt go in there!!
but he used to use mother care instead in accrington but then that closed!! so there was nowhere to go:(

Well you could always go into the bushes ladies. :eek::p

Mind you needing to answer the call with a pram has lead to arkward moments in the past. Another thing to entwisi's point about having the little uns out and about with there dads why is it labeled in some cases as mother and baby? To me that is as sexist as it comes!!!!!!!!

There really should be parent and child rooms in all public toilets etc both male and female, it is very sexist at the mo.
