Yay to double the loos - cos queueing for the ladies in the interval is a right faff
But, what, no actual ladies loos? - NO ACTUAL WOMEN ONLY LOOS

"The Old Vic @oldvictheatre
Our loos now offer ‘self-selection’ rather than being labelled male or female. This takes a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, approach following advice from surveys conducted with focus groups."

tbf only when when all cubicles can be used by men and women and men have to end up in a queue will they suddenly see an issue with Unisex toilets and then there will probably be a change because as we all know, mens inconvenience as far more important that women's safety

Are their cubicles floor to ceiling as is required by law? And how does a communal urinal area fit into this requirement that mixed sex toilet facilities are fully enclosed?

We need some brave soul in London to head out to The Old Vic and investigate for us.

Take a pen and clipboard and report back. Perhaps adopt a non-binary disguise.

Nostalgic sigh - the Man Friday peeps would have totally been up for this.

How many loos can be accessed by men?

How many loos can be accessed by women?

Those areas that contain both urinal provision and cubicles, would women have to pass the men standing there pissing? Because that would effectively make those loos male-only.

They seem to be getting a pasting on Twitter. Plus Caroline Criado Perez is on their case. Grin

WTF?

So rooms with urinals and other rooms with cubicles or just rooms with both? Pictograms don't make it all that clear either.

And Toilet Twinning - FFS!
