Sex in a Disabled Toilet in London! No, not me unfortunately, my luck is not that good!

So I am actually busting for a leak, stuck in a traffic jam in London (The conjestion charge really works) and wanting to get to Hanover Square as I knew a big store that had a disabled toilet. I’ll do another blog on the inedequaces of London for wheelchair users another time. The fact it took 90 minutes to travel two miles from Euston to Regents Street is an absolute joke in itself.

Point of the matter is this – our Capital city has a woeful supply of wheelchair accessible toilets. To think we have the Paralympics in three years time is a frightening prospect, god help them in London!

Now, I am not going to name the department store in question, but lets put it this way, you will find a number of ‘celebrities’ frequenting it, my last visits have yielded a glimpse of Zoe Ball, Professor Lord Robert Winstone and June Sarpong.

I left Adam (Fresh Egg MD) downstairs at the front of the store letting him know I would be back in a few minutes. Unfortunately for Adam, I was gone fo half an hour, because I had to wait for Mr & Mrs Can’t Wait to finish their business in one of the few disabled toilets that I am aware of in this part of London. By the time I got out Adam had gone and was convinced he would have to get a train back to Worthing.

Twenty minutes of fun

Hey, I’m not a complete moaning old windbag; who’s to say I would not have done exactly the same thing if opportunity knocked? I would say the couple in question had a great time, based on how happy they looked when they came out. I could say “I’m not having it”, but that could be taken too literally. But why is it that I have to wait until their fun and pleasure had come to an end? I was bursting myself, but for very different reasons.

Lucky Escape

Unfortunately, I did not get to say my piece to Love’s Young Dream, I was just on my way to the lift some 20 yards away when the fulfilled couple popped out back into the real world. Had I been closer I can assure you I would of said a few choice words and possibly taken a picture to really polish off this post.

The point is this – it is another sad statistic in the bigger picture that disabled people are an after thought and that facilities that are in place to assist those members of society that are less fortunate than others are simply abused.

Toilet Keys

Now, I moaned my backside off with regard an incident at Moto Services, Pease Pottage recently, where I had to ask for a key to use a toilet, so on a different day I can see why the scheme can work. I will tackle this subject with a separate post. At least though the couple would not have been able to prevent me from using the toilet as required with my big silver RADAR key. Perhaps, there should be a separate toilet lock scheme for those people who cannot keep it in their pants.

The other side of the fence

I know I am in the minority, but I don’t want pity, or sorrow or sympathy. All I and other disabled people want is the same rules that everyone else gets; unfortuantely that is not the case.
