Posted by John_Gl on 31/5/2009, 10:42 am, in reply to "Bad design of Gatwick Urinals"

I wrote my original letter in January 2007 and received only one reply so I rather got the idea that i was missing the plot and nobody agreed with me. It is encouraging that more than two years on I suddenly get 4 more replies. I disagreed with David R's reply that we should not be criticising bad designs but only congratulating good designers. I still think it would be a good idea for UKPT to draw up a list of the least AP friendly toilets (there are quite a few around Exeter) as it might shame architects in to doing something about it. It would make good television. As for my own AP I am coping pretty well and certainly would say that attending a workshop in Jan 2007 has transformed me. Certainly I still have a few misfires but I worry much less about it. I always attempt the urinals, usually with success and if I have to resort to a cubicle then I count that as a failure. John
