HI all,

well I ventured out with hubby yesterday to the theatre, for the first time in ages, and I must say that their new building is more user friendly than the old one.

I have been trying to use the facilities provided for those of us with additional needs, rather than soldiering on and managing to feel worse than ever, though it doesn't come easy doing that. Somehow I think everyone is watching me, when of course I know that they are not, but it is not as easy as it seems sometimes.

The toilet facilities were fabulous, with every adaptation available that I could think anyone might need, but just one thing really made me wonder ....

:? :? :? :? why would anyone need a full length mirror right opposite the toilet :shock: was a bit of a shock when I sat down :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    With every mod-con in the disabled toilet - it was probably the only space left to put it!! The mind boggles!!

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    That's weird!

    I had an odd experience in a loo recently. My mum and I wanted to go and could only find loo's in the local car park. They'd recently been done up and were large individual loos rather than cubicles but my mum refused to use them as there wasn't even tiny windows and she gets a bit panicky (can't use lifts either). I said I'd give it a go as long as she held the door (I didn't want to lock the door as I usually can't get out). There was music playing in the loo, which was a bit weird. As soon as I sat down the music stopped and this recorded woman started talking to me saying thank you for using this loo but there is a time limit (!!!!!!). She didn't say how long the time limit was but immediately I felt under pressure and couldn't go at all!!! Plus she didn't say what would happen at the end of the time limit?!

    Needless to say I exited the loo at speed and then me and mum went and found a 'normal' non-speaking, no time limit loo.

    Weird!

    Wonky,
    I can't think of anything worse than being confronted with a full length mirror as you step out of the loo.

    I don't have any funny loo stories but loved reading this thread! thanks wonky! :lol::lol:
