A Public Convenience: a rant.

On a door in The Bridgewater Arms Public House in the village of Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, there is a sign which says:

ACCESSIBLE TOILET

Well, that's a relief.

But is there also an inaccessible toilet, that's what I want to know. 


I think I might take a rope and some crampons next time, just in case.

Word To Use Today: accessible. This word comes from the Old French accessus, an approach, and before that from the Latin cēdere, to go or yield.

      Thank YOU, Jingles. It made me lauigh, too.
      I certainly wouldn't have changed that sign for a boring DISABLED one, if that's what they meant. On the other hand, perhaps the other loo IS half way up an oak tree guarded by psychotic ferrets...
