Years of owning one have taught me that there are two laws of RADAR key ownership.

1. I have the key but don’t need it for varying reasons (a good bladder, standard ladies’ loos that I can actually lock and – more importantly – unlock for myself, or disabled ones that don’t require a RADAR key).

2. I do need the key, sometimes desperately (Cambridge stands out as an exceptionally leg-crossing afternoon :oops: ), but have left it either at home or in the car :roll:

Yesterday we were ‘on the road’ for most of the day at different places whose 'loo plans' were all unfamiliar. I found I needed my key, and I had it, at not just one but TWO different venues. Sad b*st*rd that I am, this made me inordinately happy :D

It’s the little things in life :lol:

    I used mine for the first time on Saturday afternoon. Him and me went for a pint and the disabled toilet in the pub was a RADAR one. Mind you I had to plod back to my handbag to fetch the darned thing but it was with me; result! (I bought mine after a leg-plaiting afternoon in Brighton.) DD

    :o Are you sure? I'd have thought that plaiting required a minimum of three legs :? Is there something you've not been telling us, Jake? My heart goes out to you if you have three arthritic ones. I believe the most one can achieve with two legs is ringlets but I'd be intrigued to learn more :wink:

    Sticky, if one is desperate enough it's amazing the contortions that a mere two legs can execute. :wink:

    I agree, wazz42, it is rather like a key to a castle. :) I have a multi-pocketed bag and my key lurks in its own section. DD

    Hi
    I haven't got one......Its something I've never needed in our area but I think I will get one.
    I was in Scotland for a week and the amount of loos that I used that had to have a radar key :roll:
    I think I'll have to get one even though I don't need it locally
    Love

    Anyone can buy one. Google RADAR key to find sites selling them.

    They are big so that people with cr*ppy hands like mine can manage to turn the key :wink:
