Madam, – When a porter in the tax office on Cathedral Street,Dublin, directed Ciaran Casey (November 11th) to the toilets in a nearby Burger King outlet, did Mr Casey have to produce a P45? – Yours, etc,
Madam, – A short time ago, Manchester City Council introduced an imaginative scheme whereby retail outlets, pubs and restaurants were invited to participate in an exercise to open up their bathroom facilities to everyone, customers and otherwise. Those taking part would place a sticker on their window advising people of this fact.
Such an initiative does away with that feeling of guilt we may have experienced in creeping into a shop, using the lavatory, then leaving without buying anything. Hats off to Manchester. – Yours, etc,
