Just had a very enjoyable driving experience on the SVR, however the public carpark we used in the centre of Bridgnorth had 20p card only public toilet. Any legal bods like to comment on whether this could classed as discriminatory , certainly seemed close to it to me!

I’d wager there’s more people with a card to charge 20p when desperate than those with a 20p coin in their pocket, because 2019.

Not having a bank account is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.

Makes much more sense than a coin system, nothing to break into and steal and (none-dinosaurs) are much more likely to have a card than the right coin.

Put Apple/Google pay on and you have the ultimate dunny for 2019!

You can have a payment card without a bank account

Those toilets were constantly out of order when they took a 20p coin and then free for ages because the machines were broken. I think from people breaking into the machine that took the coins

No more discriminatory than not having a 20p coin. But if you feel that strongly about it, knock yourself out, trying to take it to court. You could try it with all the car parks that now only accept card payment. Spurs new Stadium is cashless, I could go on.

If it only took 20p coins and nothing else, is it not then discriminatory against people who only have bank cards? scratchchin

'Discriminatory' 'diversity' 'human rights' 'minorities' why is everybody finding an excuse to use for these tedious clichés in every sentence or utterance?
As to the subject of the posting .... Does this mean disabled toilets with access only with a RADAR key discriminates against those NOT disabled?
Are companies only selling products on-line discriminating against those without a computer?
Come on let's grow up.

If its the one I think it is just step over the barrier like all the pensioners do if you're that desperate or buy a radar key off ebay :-)

I was in Tenby yesterday where they charge 40p for a piss. Part of me was proper narked but it may also be the only way to get some money out of the leeches sucking the peace out of the place.

The alternative is no bog at all in many a place.

Maybe not in Ethiopia.

I think this could end up similarly to council tips being assholes and driving people to fly tipping.

On the NC500 they're closing toilets and finding turds all over the place instead.

In Venice it's 2.50 Euros and there are only two toilets I could find. That seems a little counter productive. No one toilets for fun.

"Ever been refused a public service, fuel, parking space or money from a cash machine just because you don't have a bank card to hand. You've almost certainly been discriminated against, even if you didn't realise it. Call Hempstall-Worthington no-win no-fee sharks and we'll milk the system as much as we can for us you "
