Dear rehctub,

I don't want to divert this thread so I'll make
it brief. Can you tell me what the best kind of meat
would be for me to use in a recipe for beef stroganoff?
I want a cut of beef that will be great when cut up into
thin slices. I usually go for beef scotch - but I was
told that rump steak would do just as well. Which, in your
opinion is better? It's for a dinner party and I want the
best - melt in your mouth kind of meat.

My apologies to you Is Mise. But I didn't know where else to
ask rehctub - and I would appreciate his expertise.

Thanks.

Foxy,

Don't mind at all, it's a dish that I like.

Haven't been to Sydney lately so don't know what the toilet trends are in the big smoke.
However in Armidale, NSW, McDcnald's has an inward opening door, ditto Grafton, Casino, Coff's Harbour and Warwick, Qld.
The local doctors' recently built building has an inward opening door on the unisex toilet. I would say that such doors are the norm, visit the Law Courts' 24 storey building in Macquarrie St and you'll find that all of the toilets have the offending doors.
The reason there is simple, the toilet air-conditioning is by pressure and outward opening doors would not stay shut.
Health is very much a secondary consideration.

As for me or anyone else carrying wipes; if the owners of the buildings fulfilled their duty of care then the matter would not arise.
Hungry Jack's in Warwick has the washing facilities outside the toilets' exit doors.
Simple.

Is Miis, you will find that most modern shopping centre rest rooms are now doorless. Perhaps theynhave listens to people like you before, but I do think expecting them to refit their existing stores/facilities is a bit rich.

As for doors opening out, it has a lot to do with being able to gain access should a person inside the cubicle have a heart attack or collapse.

You will find all modern house toilet doors also open out, in fact, some both ways, for this ver reason.

Most cubicle doors still open inwards but it is the exit door from the facilities that need to open outwards.
Altering the direction of opening merely requires turning the hinges and moving the timber against which the door stops to the reverse position.
As there are but two doors usually involved I don't think that a job that should cost no more than $400 (and that's being generous)should be beyond the finances of most businesses/organizations that provide toilet facilities.
I had occasion today to visit Tenterfield Hospital, their Public Toilet is so small that there is only one cubicle (inward door) and the washing area is so small that one must stand with one foot against the inward opening exit door to avoid being struck in the butt by someone who wishes to enter.
There are however a lot of hand washing instructions!

Is Mis, $400 you say. You can't even get a traddie out of bed for that. Besides, most shopping degree these days require an induction before you start work and a minimum of $20 million public liability insurance.

I doubt you could get that job done these days for less than a grand. So I would suggest that a problem like yours is not even on their radar so as to speak.
