would you let a stranger......

After reading Broken Link Removed, there's no way you lot are getting past the door

We neither let or ask to use other peoples toilets. Even when friends are having a drink with us.

In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter

I have never heard that! If anyone knocked here looking to use the toilet I would not even answer the door.

Never heard of that either but we have done in the past. There once was a local postwomen who would ask to use the loo, one day my hubby had been in before her, she never came back. Another time on our way to our car a couple of young girls asked where public toilets were, as they were quite far we let them use ours.

Happened to us once outside Milan, stuck in a 10 hour traffic jam, Italian woman asked if she could use the loo wife said yes.

 

[bernardfeay]

Yes, I would let them use ours. The stuff that is in there already isn't that precious.

We've had this discussion a few times: I always feel "do as you would be done to" and would be prepared to help in many circumstances; Barbara is much more reluctant and says "they shall not pass".

Just as we finished lunch in a layby off the A21 on Friday a chap came from the car parked in front of us and knocked on the windscreen, as he walked towards the door. "What do we do?". As he looked moderately fit and young (well, middle-aged) I decided the answer would be "sorry but no". However, he thrust 2 bottles of beer into my hand, saying "I can't take these with me so you can have them!" We have decided that he was on his way to the airport in a hire car and felt we were more deserving than HM Customs. Obviously, we concur.

And perhaps we will be more generous if there is a next time? - Gordon

This is common humanity,
I wonder given some attitude on this thread if some would have refused that.
Imagine the scenario, Knock on the door in a snowstorm asking for help,and refused.
Next day the only son of the chief constable found dead at your door, after he had been able to phone home telling dad the situation with you, before dying of hypothermia. How would that have been received by the rescue services.
Bit awkward I think.

We parked up in a supermarket last week, and when my wife came back with the shopping, there was a mum and young daughter (about6) looking for a place for the daughter to to have a pee. My wife offered our loo, and the little girl was so happy she did not have to use the side of the road. All i can say is the look on her face was worth it....lol

 

[Rapido925M]

Most (but not all) of the supermarkets that I visit have a loo for customers (it always helps to keep the contents of my own loo low!) - Gordon

 

[Welsh girl]

I let JJ use it and hes a strange man..LOL

Was stuck in a horrendous traffic holdup between Bilbao and Biarritz this July with an accident needing helicopter recovery. After a few hours had a Spanish lady asked to use the loo. Just said yes as the risks didn't seem that bad and I'm sure it was a great relief to her. A bit later some small children in the car in front used it too. Some cold drinks from the fridge were gratefully received by the same family. Answer would have been different if we were on a camp site or at a port.

I think common sense is the way to go about this if its urgent and you are happy with the circumstances.We would allow someone but would always be aware of the scammers.
