I attended London beginners workshop in January. It has vastly improved my confidence in dealing with AP. If all public toilets were well designed then AP would be easier to deal with. Sadly they are not and I would like to see a list of badly designed toilets published on this web site. Perhaps we could get publicity because of this list and shame the owners into improving them and get planners to improve future toilet design. I intend to start my campaign with BAA who run Gatwick airport and am going to offer to pay for improvements to their gents facilities in the South Terminal Departure lounge. The facilities are very busy, often with cues for the cubicles. There are no dividers in the urinals and more people would use the urinals if there were dividers. I am offering to pay for 4 dividers to be installed, each divider will be 4 foot high and eighteen inchs deep. Their spy cameras will notice that 90% of men will go straight to the urinals with dividers and will avoid the ones that dont have dividers. To start the list of "BAD" toilets I suggest the following two:- (1) Wonford Hospital Exeter Entrance Hall gents toilets. (2) Taunton Deane M5 Motorway services going North. Surprisingly the Taunton Deane services going south are much more AP friendly and better designed. John_Gl
