Have decided the self flushing loo’s are not a MS persons best friend. ( that may just be that they are not mine ) Whilst going though the usual debate with yourself - have I finished or shall I just sit here a while longer to make sure when FLUSH off it goes. Making you jump or get a bit wet with the really powerful ones.
LOL

( appreciate you don’t have the hassle of fumbling around with the flush & that they are a lot cleaner )
hiya
self flushing?! that has not reached me out in the sticks yet!!!
i have seen one where u need to move hand in front of a sensor to make it flush. will keep a look out for this new technology!
thanks, ellie
I hate the thought of self flushing loos. If you are still sat there, not having ‘finished’, it’s a recipe for infection surely. I’d do anything to avoid sitting on a public loo while it’s flushing.

Hi, at first I thought you were talking about the wash and dry loos we can have in our homes.
But I think you mean public ones, eh?
Dont use public loos myself…and if i did it would have too be one of those fabulous Changing Places loos, which I have used in the past. They are incredible and make such a difference to a day out.

Ladies! Is this really a proper topic for debate on a Sunday?
Their pretty good when your used to the noise and timing. Sounds more like a hoover blast to me haha.
Sorry Anthony, when would you rather we discussed it? Perhaps on. Thursday afternoon would suit you better? Or a Monday evening? Perhaps we should set certain times for discussing certain issues. Maybe toilets on a Wednesday morning, spasticity on a Friday afternoon, and of course, reserve Sunday all day to debate sex?
Sue
Nah. Monday’s for getting over Sunday. I’m doing me hair on Wednesdays. And Friday’s bin day.
I go to chit chat club on wednesdays, cinema on thursdays, then there is always a medical appointment to attend whenever…so, soz albercht (you must have an easier to type/pronounce name than that, eh?) sundays it is! As for a sex debate Sue, mine would have to be from memory…memory?
It`s a good job my long term memory is better than my shorter one, eh?

There’s always imagination Poll. (Btw, his name is Anthony, but I’ve heard it said that he’s ‘Barbara’ at the weekends!)

Or maybe I’m thinking of a different Anthony … oh well
Actually, it’s plain “Babs”. And only alternate weekends.
Anthony
Apologies Ant. I’ll just have to try to remember on which weekend you are ‘Babs’! I’d hate to get it wrong.
Sue
Hi All - Yes I do mean public loo’s - Not sure if you get them in mens toilets “Babs” you may have to ask Ant ???
I have just come back from Florida they seem to have the monopoly on self flushing toilets .
As I say have just come back from a family trip - had a fab time did wipe me out on some days but I sent the hubby & kids out some days on thier own whilst I had a rest. ( they went to Gatorland once you’ve seen one Gator you have seen them all).
People questioned me about why I was going now rather than wait until I was “better” !!! If only
Got me thinking I am being a pessimist going now thinking the worst about what the future might bring or a realist - in that whilst I am not fully fit I am still mobile ( do need a stick sometimes) so I should do all I can while I can ?

Carpe diem.
And seize the day too…
Dave’s Brasserie, yummy. My sort of food, lovely, light, nice staff, always welcome. Lots of room to move, sticks at the ready then oh then - the loos! Get in, do your thing then it is a rush to try to get the stick, sort your bag, wash your hands, do not ever turn round for any reason because then the automatic flush starts just as your lovely delicate dress is twirling round to get the tap turned off and the hand dryer sounds like something from a twister movie. I love this place so much but the loos are a bit of a nightmare. It has a small sink so when you try to escape the oncoming water swish below, the tap always and I mean always squirts water out of the sink on to your clothes anyway. Doesn’t matter what you do, you go out looking like you’ve piddled yourself.I try now to hold my bag in front of me when I wash my hands so just the bag gets wet. It just makes me laugh very loud, I think they must think ‘oh no, it’s the laughing woman with the stick again’.
Still going back, love the food.
Many years ago - in our local market the council put a ‘new loo’ - it was like a round tardis. Automatic closing - and opening doors. Everyone could see you go in it - l think it was 20p. lt automatically flushed after you got out - floor and all got washed down. Except l went in with my daughter - who was about 3yrs old at the time- and she pressed the button for the door to slide open revealing me -with my drawers round my ankles sat on the throne. THEN -this piece of modern invention decided to FLUSH - with me sat there.
Do any of you remember these loo’s. Thankfully, they did not catch on.
l bet Babs has spilt her coffee!!
Yes I remember them, they were supposed to be more efficient, never used one myself, as I’d heard stories of how they could suddenly open on their own and didn’t fancy being exposed in that way.
Personally use Sainsburys loos myself, I avoid the council ones as ‘big boys’ come and often leave them in an unpleasant state.
