Bad design?

How come some places do not meet the requirements!!! I am all for the accessible facilities being usable but seems very inconsistent. It was more expensive to kit out our two accessible loos than it was the four ordinary ones...perhaps that is why some places 'skimp' on facilities??

Re shop shelves, I just went to Sainsbury's and had to ask for an assistant to reach bottles of water from the back of the bottom shelf....way too far in for me! Not the first time.

How do you open a packet of biscuits without breaking the biscuits or suddenly, the whole packet rips open and the biscuits end up on the floor.

Marty slice the packet with a sharp knife!

I always slice the packet open with a knife

So do I. Some of them have little zip strips but often they break off halfway round.

Very true

Whether you zip the biscuits or cut the packet open, you end up having them spill out everywhere and have to sticky tape the bag shut again, because the bag clips are useless for that ... gr. Or you can eat enough so that you can screw the top of the packet to close them up again

Solution: don't buy biscuits! I know if I have them in the house I will just eat them. So I don't!

Like grannyinmypocket I have had dreadful trouble undoing the clasp on my grandchildrens' pushchair and highchair. Once I took my GD to the park and couldn't undo the damn thing no matter how hard I tried. She was getting impatient, she was only 2 then, and that made it worse. In the end a small child about 7 offered to help and pinged it open! It was a combination of arthritis and just darnright difficulty. When my kids were babies the safety belt was opened and closed like a normal belt. I also can't undo sippy cups and dissemble a baby bottle to put in the dishwasher. Again that is weakness of the hand. Several plastic bottles of pills, mouthwash, Tomatorite etc have marks where I have hacked them with a sharp knife to gain access. As for biscuits I slice open with a knife (I'm good with knives) between the first and second biscuit. I then decant the biscuits into a cookie jar.

Sippy cups are the invention of the devil. I was dressed for a lunch party, nipped back to fill the cup and put on the lid, sprayed my face and hair whist pushing lid on firmly. GD likes to dance around the room shaking the cup and liberally sprinkling everything. Another moan ... my DC were drinking out of ordinary cups when they were one, why do they have to have sippy cups until they are about four now ?
