Use of Radar Toilet Keys - My personal opinion

[yorkieowl]

Other than in an emergency, why would a person need to poo in the street? I have always managed to be able to find a toilet that I am allowed to use?

Lucky you. All our local council run toilets are being closed, to save cash, even the disabled ones. I do not like or think it fair to pop into private toilets, eg. supermarkets, pubs, shops etc unless I am buying something, or genuinely browsing with the intent to buy, these places provide the service for customers, and so this would be theft/misuse also.

We were both jesting, John, nevertheless both jests were correct. However, the the authorities seem to do little about real anti-social behaviour and important crimes so the chances that anyone will receive a criminal prosecution for using or carrying a radar key are even more unlikely than me winning tonight's £80 million Euro jackpot!

I'd bet your to old to enjoy such a large amount, it'll only shorten your life worring how to spend it, spred it around here and bath in the warm glow of doing the right thing.

Slightly off topic, but maybe lighten the mood!.......I took a disabled, wheelchair bound, young man to the loo at the end of Southampton pier many years ago while a student nurse. In order to respect his dignity I wheeled him in forward and left him with the radar key so he could deal with his catheter in private. To cut a long story short, he ended up locked in the loo, unable to turn round to get himself out! And there was NOBODY around with a spare key! Had to catch the little train back to pier start and get a "man with a key" to come and let him out! :rolleyes2:

You're right, so send me your address written on the back of a £50 Note and I'll make sure to share my winning with you!

RADAR keys should only be used by disabled people, wherever you are, even in a remote place.

They are available online but so are wheelchairs. Would you buy a wheelchair if you didn't need it to get into somewhere half price? It's a trust/honour thing.

My wife is a wheelchair user and we have lost count the number of times we have seen an non-disabed person scurrying out embarrassedly when we have been waiting.

Even Iain Duncan Smith has been caught using a disabled toilet, surely you don't want to be like him! ;-)

I have asked the Administrator (me) to lock this thread now as I believe that the point has been made.

Please remember that not everything can be seen by all. It is very rare that I take action like this, so please believe me it was important.
