Gender-neutral loos

sir – While I have every sympathy with those in Somerville College who voted against gender-neutral lavatory facilities (report, November 28), such arrangements – universal in railway carriages and long-distance coaches, in my lifetime at least – never seem to have caused any problems.

sir – Citizens of London should be pleased, not only that they will be getting new public lavatories (“All London’s new loos gender-neutral”, report, November 30), but that they have any functioning ones at all.

Edinburgh, allegedly also a capital city, has had nearly every one closed. Surely this is a fundamental failure of the SNP so-called government? Guy Bargery
