The Old Vic theatre is appealing for £100,000 on its website to help double the number of women’s toilets.

The problem’s not just in India, apparently.

Ten grand raised so far.

    C’mon join the 21st century: unigender toilets, toilets for all regardless of gender.

    Glenda Jackson, who played King Lear (to great praise), should embrace this idea more than anyone else.

      On the contrary, one set of toilets each for all the new 27 genders. Saves those pesky queues when time is a factor!!

  • Andrew says:

    Unigender toilets slow up everyone. Urinals are quicker for most chaps’ needs and stop them delaying those needing the w.c.

    …. since that is a British blog “loo” is fine.
    That said , speaking internationally, “More Johns for ladies at the Old Vic theatre” would sound more equivocal and subsequently attract more readers to the topic 😉
    P.S. a bit strange yet not a bad idea to raise some funds for such an affair any way 😉

    As on airplanes, toilets should be unigender and class based. Those paying for cheap seats have no right to use first class, or first tier, toilets. Reintroduce some social order here!
