Well it seems that there's nothing funny about toilet humour… for some

So the only equitable thing to do would be to ban urinals and only provide WC stalls in all public architecture, buildings and construction.

Then we can have an informed discussion that a cubicle ratio of 2:1 in favour of women is self-evidently not 'potty parity' nor is the idea that it is, amusing.

Surely our society has moved beyond the time when judges and cleaners are allocated separate toilets?

Well said Saltpetre! Illuminating and a fair enough matter to be taken seriously. Unisex toilets would appear to be a common sense solution and I also have observed the women's que's at sport and other high volume venues. I have a 'unisex' loo at home!!

Love your sense of humour WmTrevor.

Gotta applaud the diverse range of articles on OLO. Methinks the shortage of toilets is the fault of economic rationalism.

Definitely a plot by those incontinence pad companies for sure.

And, pelican, given the ageing demographic of Australia's population, there are other looming issues…

Where for example do ileostomates and colostomates stand in all of this?

Though to be fair, for some it is a condition where you can hand someone else the bag and they can go to the toilet for you.
