Showing my support for local businesses on Saturday afternon by doing my Christmas shopping in Marple, I felt the call of nature as I wandered up Market Street (well it was quite cold.....)
No problem, or so I fondly imagined. I turned along Derby Way and strolled across to the public loos in the car park. And what do you think? They were locked! At 4.00 on a Saturday afternooon, two weeks before Christmas! I couldn't believe it! No wonder people do their shopping in M&S or John Lewis - at least you know you can have a pee when you need one!
