    Shop at Asda or Tesco next time, they have toilets. Simples. :)

    so a warning to anyone with children make sure they pee before you go or just dont take them with you!

    Blimey, I never thought of that! :rotfl:

    When I worked in retail we only had staff toilets, upstairs through the warehouse next to cash office and tea room. A customer once asked if her little girl could use the toilet so our supervisor let one of the staff take the little girl upstairs, the staff member waited outside and the little girl shouted "ok I've had a poo can you wipe my bum now" luckily they had picked a very easy going member of staff who had kids of her own. I hate to think what would have happened if they'd picked one of the young single lasses.

    And what if it'd been a male? If he was easy going and had kids, imagine the potential legal problems for him and the shop?

    Hell, even with women, now, I can imagine somebody trying to sue for being a sexual predator.

    Why didn't you take your kid to the toilet beforehand?

    Job done.

    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    I think times have changed a lot now, I suppose the assistant would refuse to take the child to the toilet, I know I would.

    You should have let him wee himself at the checkout as you were paying, that would have halted things for them for a 'wee' while. ;)
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    We can all go anywhere and demand to use a toilet whether we're pregnant or not.

    Just cos you demand it doesn't mean you'll get what you want.

    From Times online, I couldn't be bothered to go through them all but I know that I've read that a Policeman has to allow a pregnant womant to pee in his helmet if she asks. Maybe that's why more police wear caps than helmets now, easier to change the uniform than the law?
    17. In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants – even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet. :rotfl:

    OP annoying but a fact of life that lots of us have had children & had to accept that not everywhere is geared up for children. I didn't expect toilets, feeding & changing rooms for my daughter when she was young, which is just as well as we didn't get it.
    Like another poster I want cheap food, not toilet facilities in shops.
