What's that about, then?

So, here I am in London on training. It's lunchtime at the moment, so I'm getting a bit of spodding done, and adding an LJ post about the toilets here, because they're kind of strange.

First off, there's three doors rather than the traditional two. One of them is labelled with the traditional stick man iconography for a man, meaning Gents. The next is labelled with the traditional iconography of a single pillar legged, skirt wearing woman. So far this all seems normal.

Then there's the third door, which is labelled with iconography indicating a skirt wearing woman with not one but two legs!

What's that about, then? A toilet for men, a toilet for women and a toilet for skirt-wearing monopods? Men, women and scotsmen? Are you only permitted to use the middle one if your legs have been fused together, forcing you to wear skirts?

Can the world stand this confusion?

I flatly refuse to bring in my camera purely to take a photo of some toilets. I would be considered creepy. Or perhaps creepier, depending on who you talk to.

Also, I couldn't get them all in shot...

It's also not well lit in the hallway - I'd need to set up a tripod, which is just going a little bit too far.

skirt-wearing monopods
