Now why is a Grumpy old man blogging on this subject? Principally because he’s spent a good deal of his time waiting for Mrs Weggis to emerge from said facility.
It’s not the girls fault, chaps, it’s ours.
It all started when Weggis was walking down the corridor with a female colleague deep in conversation, we turned right through a door and Weggis ended up in the ladies toilet. It covered exactly the same floor space as the gents on the alternate floors, it had two enclosed WCs the same as the Gents, but in place of the six urinals was a row of basins and mirrors. The girls had two outlets, the boys had eight. This is what the male architects think the girls want to do in the lav, fix their make-up and wash their hands. Wrong! They want to have a pee.
Weggis was not amused and tasked Mrs Weggis to describe the layout of every loo she entered. Sure enough, though the numbers varied, there were always more outlets in the Gents than in the Ladies.
OK, urinals don’t take up as much room as a WC, so allocate a bit more floor space to the ladies, it’s not difficult, boys, and it’s a lot less hassle.
So, next time you’re pacing up and down while the missus is in a queue for the ladies ponder on the lack of female architects, and the idiot male architects who are responsible for your situation.
oh well

Well Mrs Monro tells me in most loos she's been in there are more cubicles than sinks.
ReplyDeleteI went in one once - father and daughter, you understand - and there were five or so cubicles and three wash basins.
But the loos were in a shocking state. Wet floors, toilet paper and paper towels on the floor...
I thought it was just the blokes who left the conveniences looking like that.
That’s not uncommon. The key is the number of outlets as compared to the associated Gents. The number of simultaneous Pees each can accommodate.
ReplyDeleteIt has just occurred to me that at Half-Time it is not uncommon for two, sometimes three, blokes to be peeing into a WC pan. Something I suspect the Ladies would have a little difficulty in emulating.

ReplyDeletePeriod?
ReplyDeleteDo blogs have periods?
ReplyDeleteMine does. And I'm talking Full Stops here! I'm not supposed to know about the other meaning of "period".
