Johnny 'Round the Corner

I’ve whined about public handicapped restrooms here before. In the UK, disabled stalls are ONLY for the disabled; you need a special key to use them. It’s a better solution than we have here, where the handicapped (who very frequently have trouble waiting) must queue behind inconsiderate dolts who could have used regular stalls. We were pushing my daughter’s wheelchair at the Kimball Arts Festival in Park City three weeks ago when she announced she had to “go.” She doesn’t usually give us ample warning, so we were relieved to find facilities nearby with a handicapped sign outside. Then we discovered her relatively small chair wouldn’t fit in the stall. In the end we abandoned the chair outside while she took care of business, hoping all the while that it would still be there when she was done. If only Park City had roomy, clean, safe facilities like the one near St. Sampson’s Square in York.
