A mum will sit on a loo in front of the public all day today...
Blimey, what's she been eating?
...to support disabled people.
Ah.
Sarah Brisdion, 38, from Brockenhurst, wants to raise awareness of the “dire” conditions that her son and thousands of other disabled people face when using the toilet away from home.
It seems ordinary disabled toilets aren't sufficient. The ratchet only ever goes up, doesn't it?
Sarah will be joined in the Baker Street, London, window, by actress Samantha Renke.
Sarah added: “Toilets are not glamorous. We shy away from talking about pee, poo and periods.”
Well, once we're all older than five, yes. Although if you grow up to be a left-wing 'comedian', you may find you revert back...
“There are currently only 1093 Changing Places toilets in the whole of the UK which sounds a lot but Wembley Stadium alone has 2,618 toilets.
“Fortunately in Southampton the number of Changing Places is growing, making our city more accessible than most. But there is still a way to go.”
Well, at least they aren't expecting the taxpayer to fund it, but the shopper undoubtedly will, with higher prices.
Coxford ward councillor Keith Morrell said the campaign “should be applauded”.
For its aims, or for getting his name in the paper?
Of course, all too often when people complain about lack of equality in toilet provision, the easiest way of ensuring it is to close down those that already exist.
