No they wont they have to provide toilet facilities if you serve food in a restaurant. Lots of food at airports means lots of toilets need providing. You make me laugh with how you associate one thing with another. What else you going to suggest bouncers on the door charging £4 to get in???

I hold my hands up I no restaurants have to provide toilets but i may be wrong if they are in train stations / airports / services.

Still cant see it happening because people are often there for a good few hours in an airport. I no id avoid waiting at a train station for hours and i would if i could at an airport

Nobody has mentioned the Bureau de Change offices at Manchester Airport.

The exchange rates they offer to turn your pounds into euros have to be seen to be believed. They offer about 15% less for your pound than high street bureaux. Change £1,000 into euros and you'll be ripped off over £100.

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!

Most airports are that way i get it done before i leave nowadays as my friend once went to spain and changed some money when he was there walked round the corner and saw a Bureau de Change and the exchange rate would have left him £200 up so he and his dad went back and stood outside for an hour telling people not to go in
