Hardly: one guy in the office as compared to several thousand people working '24 hours a day'?

But anyway, I wasn't agreeing with his suggestion, just pointing out that it wasn't quite as unfeasible as you were suggesting. ;-)

But it wouldn't be 'one guy in the office'. Because, as I pointed out, how do you stop people loaning them out? Selling them on? If you need evidence of loss it's police time as well. And none of this would stop people who aren't entitled to use the facilities using them. I'm sure I'm not alone in having to wait to use a disabled loo because able bodied people are occupying them.

The fact is that, in order to 'police' the scheme, you would have to have attendants, in which case the scheme becomes redundant because the attendants could check eligibility.

I have seen them on ebay. I went to check they are still there, before posting this and noticed someone selling small keys, the normal ones are quite about 4 inches long (not sure exactly, it's in the car), so are quite large to go on a bunch of keys.

Yes, I've seen them on ebay as well. I don't know if any of them are genuine, I suspect that they aren't, especially the 'discreet' version. I strongly suspect that if the 'discreet' version were genuine RADAR might sell them themselves.

I think its a great scheme - now what are the councils going to do about changing facilities for those who cannot use a toilet? - A disabled loo - floor is still a loo floor after all!! (how about a changing bench and a hoist to get into / out of that wheelchair!)

Mine arrived whilst I was in hospital and my husband couldn't believe the size of it! I think he is expecting the door it fits to be about 12ft high!

I got mine through the RADAR website for £3.50. You can also do the tax exempt thing on there too

Or .99p on a well known auction site.

sadly in my local shopping centre (fishergate preston) even if you have a radar key you cant get in disabled loos, u have 2 press a buzzer then some1 lookin at ur frm a camera will buzz u in! now this annoys me as what if you have a hidden disability!?! they claim its to stop drug abusers using disabled loos? since when do druggies have a preference on loos? lol

I have a blue badge for my illness, I need to get a key because I have serve IBS and that is really embarrasing when you can't get to the toilet.
I do have a qustion, If you need to use your bluebadge to park on the day, could you just take a Copy of you DLA acceptence letter with you and show the people.
Can you still get a key that way.
Thanks

i noticed that one of the disabled loo's in skegness had a changing bench and hoist, and thought that was a fab idea, and more should have them.
as for the person saying able bodied users are using the disabled loo's, there is more than one type of disability.
for instance i have a son who has sever adhd, learning difficulties, and autisic traits, he's 14 now, and too big to come into the ladies with me, but too scared to go to the gents alone, when his brother is not with us.
