@speakoutsister I grew up nowhere near Manchester and I wasn’t told that either - mind you I am old enough that I was told ‘look for a policeman’!

@Cobeekat @LoudBonnet @Glinner Because not everyone who might want to use a gender neutral toilet can pee standing up.

@DarlaLek @BFC_Zoe @StuntNun My Grandpa ended his days in a mental hospital. Amongst his problems he had paranoia - he was convinced that the Russians were spying on him through the plugs. You are reminding me of him - please talk to a real life friend or someone because I am starting to worry about you.

@DarlaLek @BFC_Zoe @StuntNun Nothing is going on. If you have evidence - not vibes, evidence - to the contrary then share it with the police and the store manager.

@luv1bun Do what makes sense to you and look after yourself. I hope you get what you need.

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@DarlaLek @BFC_Zoe @StuntNun No offence but I do think you should see a therapist about this. You’re coming across as quite paranoid. M&S aren’t making it easy for voyeurs. Where are they going to hide a camera in an M & S changing cubicle and how are they going to power it?

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@lunettaporchett Upskirting is illegal in the UK as is voyeurism. If you have evidence of either then report it.

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@Irishgirlbragh_ @_celia_bedelia_ There are. There used to be shared changing rooms in some stores in the 90s (eg Chelsea Girl I think) but I have never seen one in M and S. M and S have mirrors in the changing room. You might come out to show someone else what you look like but that’s about it.

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@DarlaLek @BFC_Zoe @StuntNun It wouldn’t stop voyeurism. Voyeurism is illegal. Voyeurs are breaking the law and if you are a victim of this sort of crime (anywhere!) then report it. But you are no more at risk in M and S now than you ever were.

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@DarlaLek @BFC_Zoe @StuntNun Er, yes? Someone did something illegal and got arrested for it! By definition people who do illegal things are not going to keep the rules. I’m sorry if you were caught up in this and that’s why you’re so nervous but it’s not common (and the M&S changing rooms have solid walls)

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@DarlaLek @BFC_Zoe @StuntNun It still works fine now.

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@DarlaLek @BFC_Zoe @StuntNun If the fact that something that never happens in practice could possibly happen in the future is all you have to worry about then you are very fortunate. Can you honestly think of no better use for your time?

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@DarlaLek @BFC_Zoe @StuntNun Well I suppose they could in theory but they don’t, do they?

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@GroksBride Why is that an unreasonable first question? Surely you should be able to reply something like ‘Yes but I don’t follow at this point’ and narrow down where you need help or ‘Yes, but in so and so’s book I read this and I can’t reconcile the two’.

@zarurazure Her narrative voice is perfectly judged and very funny.

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@james_rands Yes, that’s what I remember - the outer wrapping was newspaper, the inner wrapping was white. I honestly didn’t know that when people talked about ‘wrapped in newspaper’ this wasn’t what they were talking about till now!

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@ChountisFabbri @ITattum @spectator @michaelgove Are you sure you didn’t ask people and they thought ‘best tell him about the tea, he’ll have heard of that!’

[Laura Brough @LauraBrough]

@KittyCassAZ @Sabiha1278 Some cats really like it. My gran had a Siamese that hated being left behind - she loved being included on family outings in a harness and got taken to all sorts of places. If my grandad was walking she walked too!

@Cantwara_ Most of the Cinque Ports are in Kent. Dover used to promote itself as White Cliffs Country. Dungeness has Derek Jarman’s garden.
