John Gl Glad to hear your workshop helped and I know what you mean about the impact of simple differences between good and bad design - a couple of dividers can make for a much more comfortable visit. However, on the 'half full glass' principle, that I am sure you covered in your workshop, perhaps its better to compliment a pub, hotel, company, airport on well designed toilets and reward them with your business. For instance, the check-in side toilets at Luton and Stansted are pretty good -large, lots of options, different rows, etc. Maybe we should think about getting lightweight stick on dividers with the UKPT logo printed on them, so we can then fly post those poorer establishments . Seriously though, some people find that you can use distance (a few gaps) and mental focus on their own spot/zone as a form of (virtual) divider ... Plus its quite acceptable to turn to one side slightly to block the line of site (depending on layout). Anyway, keep desensing / keep campaigning. Regards David R
