I do hope not. Be careful what you wish for. The way things are going you might have bigger worries by the time you reach those sort of ages , Too expensive for the state to keep aged bodies going in a couple of decades so you pay yourself or peg it like back in the 19th century unless you have taken out a good and costly health care package. And even if you can obtain that do you think it will be available for your children spending most of their income on accommodation for most of their lives. So far I can still if necessary not go for more than 12 hours and I’m in my sixth decade, the people I’ve known that start to have serious problems have been late 70’s to 90’s. That just happens to be the same age bracket that some should be encouraged to stop driving or actually have their licence taken away . That means they would not be in a position to do what you suggest and drive along A roads if they need frequent toilet breaks though I suppose there is an outside chance the self driving car may be reality in a couple of decades.

How did they cope in the past? Stayed at home in the absence of suitable facilities or supplies? It still happens now - Google for "period poverty".

The way climate change is going I dread to think of the state things will be in in 30 years time. along A roads if they need frequent toilet breaks though I suppose there is an outside chance the self driving car may be reality in a couple of decades. Maybe, but I have my doubts. The technology is way over hyped and can't cope away from the nice wide straight roads of north america. |

People seem to manage to use them. The toilets on Le Shuttle aren’t a great example to compare things to. They’re disgusting. Clarkson was right to **** in a bottle. TBH I don't see the purpose of them either. The journey is only 45 mins. You've just driven down the M20, rushing to get to your shuttle on time, and when you make it you relax and need a pee. Makes sense to me. FTAOD I've never been on Le Shuttle and therefore have no experience of their tiolets, but from the description I'd guess people who use wheelchairs don't use them at all, unless "normal doors" includes ones that open outwards, in which case you've just created a potentially wasted space outside the tiolet which needs to be kept clear for anyone to use it. The Le Shuttle car carriages are either single or double deck. Usually one half of each train is double and one half single. On both types there’s a narrow 'pavement' down the sides of the 'roadway'. On the double deck carriages, there’s a toilet underneath the stairs in every third carriage. On single deck trains there are two toilets in each of the end carriages. They’re narrow due to location and my recollection of them is filthy, stinky and disgusting. They’re not wheelchair accessible due to lack of width, and also you wouldn’t be able to get there from your car unless you happened to be parked right next to the toilet. https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/0a/8d/8d/98/eurotunnel-le-shuttle.jpg Anna Noyd-Dryver |

Nothing boring about Europe. Frankfurt is a thing in Europe. (thinking of the /M version...

It was enough for one lifetime tbh. Clean, efficient, friendly (for germany) but totally and utterly boring as hell.
