Free Toilets in Paris
Like many people of my age, I get taken short. In London and many UK cities, public toilets are getting rarer and rarer, especially at night.
So it was good to see this in Paris.

London should take note!
Body Scanners
There has been a couple of women refused travel on a plane at Manchester, because they would not be checked by one of the new body scanners.
I’m all for security and are broadly for increased measures, but the way it is in the UK is different to the USA. There if you refuse to go on a body scanner, you can be personally searched. In the UK, you can’t.
This is wrong, as there are various illnesses such as Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, where exposure to radiation is not recommended. In my view anybody suffering from such a disease would be totally within their rights to ask for a personal search, especially if they had a letter from their hospital.
How to Attract Business
I really don’t care what language people use in private, but are new powers for the Welsh Assembly to force companies and organisations to provide services in Welsh a good idea?
If I was thinking about relocating a company to Wales, I would think again, as if at some future date, I’d have to go to the expense of providing everything in Welsh as well as English. I would go to part of the UK, where things were less strict. In these days, where business efficiency is the key, then imposing rules like this doesn’t make sense for the vast majority of companies and organisations.
