The point I am trying to make is that by providing much needed Disabled WCs that cater for the needs of primarily wheelchair users providers need to be aware that some people such as myself are still not actually being catered for. Fortunately the architect who desgned the recently re-furbished facility at Bradford University did understand the wider requirements and I only wish others would too, but if other disabled people even cannot understand and sympathise my difficulties then it's going to be an even longer battle than I first suspected.

I'm pleased that the provision of disabled loos has given you your social life back and I appreciate that one toilet will not suit all but please recognise and spare a thought for those of us who are not yet generally provided for away from our own homes.
There is no need to get "stressy" you asked for peoples opinions and opinions were given. If only every toilet, every hotel room, every piece of equipment suited EVERY disabled person then great, but then what about people who are shorter and taller than average they must face challenges too

So its not a case of other disabled people not understanding we are ALL different and cannot and should not be classed as "disabled"
