In the newly refurbished ladies toilets in my place of work, the toilet pan is situated centrally between the two side walls. There is only just enough room for the sanitary disposal unit to slide between the toilet pan and the wall so that it is impossible to sit on the loo without also sitting on the disposal unit.

Would it have been too much effort to have sited the toilet pan off-centre so that there would have been room to fit the disposal unit by one side of the loo with space to allow a little distance between the sitter and the disposal unit?

Almost all new loos have this fault. The designers KNOW they will be installing a disposal unit. Are they brain-dead?

I personally like the very old loos that were designed in Victorian times that HAD to be big to accomodate the voluminous dresses fashionable at that time. Todays loos are barely large enough to be able to stand in front of the pan and close the door behind you!
