The manager explained that the lady I had been talking to was visually impared and was struggling to see the computer screen. I really had to bite my lip not ask what on earth was she doing working behind a computer screen that she cannot see.

This reminded me of a situation when I worked in a bank and dealt with accounts of deceased customers. It was often necessary to phone solicitors to chase up legal documents. One Accrington based firm was always difficult to deal with because the secretary was profoundly deaf and had difficulty speaking (as is often the case with someone who cannot hear how a word os suppsed to sound) and yet she was the one who answered the phone! I would have to repeat myself to her several times in a slow loud voice before she heard/understood what I was saying. (thus disturbing those around me who couldn't hear who they were trying to converse with on other topics) and I constantly had to ask her to repeat what she was saying because no matter how I tried it was very difficult to understand her as she didn't form her words normally. There's no reason on earth why the woman shouldn't have had a job and earned a living but why oh why was she working in a situation which required her to be able to communicate with people by telephone?

I have my own limitations and I wouldn't expect to be employed to do something I know I'm not capable of doing. It just doesn't make sense.

I really don't see why A-b needs to have a disabled loo on the off-chance that a disabled inspector may someday call there. Should we all also have disabled loos in our homes just in case we get a disabled visitor someday? Should we all have ramped access? In the later years of her life my mother used a wheelchair and had a stannah stairlift at home but we didn't and at the time we lived in a house with steps up the front. When she came to visit we had to bring her round the back way. It wouldn't have made sense to adapt our house to her needs and she wouldn't have expected us to. Where is it all going to end?

On the subject of hot water though, wouldn't it make more sense to have the water in public loos regulated first? I quite often find that you have the option of scalding yourself (with a polite notice saying "caution hot water" kindly warning you in advance) or using freezing cold water as there are very rarely plugs in the sinks so that you can mix the two for a "warm" option. I like my bath water hot too and if I was forced to have it cooled down against my will I'd find that a totally aggravating intrusion. We've recently had a new shower fitted and I was stunned to find that the "removable" shower head had been rendered unmovable by the hose being fixed to the pole thing. When I queried this with the plumber he explained that new regulations now require that the shower head cannot fall to the ground where it may rest in the water in case the water board turned the water off just as it was doing so and it sucked the dirty soapy water back into the mains. My reaction to that was "humph!" and I disconnected it from the pole myself.
