"Accessible" toilets

Both of these wonderful toilets were fully signposted as "accessible" with the international symbol on the door. Both toilets are located in hospitals

This one seems to have understood the large cublcle part but missed everything else:

Toilet in large cubicle, but entirely devoid of rails of any kind.


This one is clearly just a normal toilet with a label on the door, and is actually LESS accessible than the "standard" toilet immediately next to it. I am guessing it is their response to my complaint that there is no disabled toilet in that outpatient department at all, the nearest is miles and this is also where disabled parking is located. So they slapped up a wheelchair label. Well done!

Toilet in very narrow room with no rails and impossible for wheelchair access.

ZOMG! Do they think we can control our flatus so minutely as to jet from the chair, hover above the stool, and then sink to graceful landing?

HORRIBLE!
