I'm just glad the UK isn't wasting their time on bathroom issues, we have far too much trivial nonsense to contend with from the EU !
In many parts of Europe they use the same bathroom/toilet, I find it disconcerting standing at the open urinals with women and children walking by .
One aspect I can't get use to is women cleaning male toilets, I was standing in an open male urinal when suddenly a mop was brushed against my feet, I turned to find a young woman busily cleaning the floor, it felt totally wrong , I felt like a flasher and quickly zipped up and left .
Maybe a GG can tell us if they've seen a male cleaner in female toilets .
I have to agree with the reply that the lady who made the remark may have been protective of the child, taking the point further she may have been well within her rights if the child had been approached by a stranger previously. We should look for other possibilities when people apparently overreact .
