There was an under-age rape last year at Sainsbury's in Stratford-upon-Avon. This may be as a result. Sad.

What happens if an unaccompanied minor gets in distress behind a closed cubicle door ? Isn't is simpler to put a sign on the door "no unaccompanied minors to use these facilities" Are there similar arrangements in the ladies loo ? On the positive side, thinking back to school days, at least there would be proof of who could pee furthest up the wall. Beeky [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
