Design blooper: Door control panel (System Concepts) -- "When you enter the toilet, you cannot close the sliding door manually. Nor is there a bolt anywhere to be seen. Presumably, you have to use this control panel instead. How would you lock the door?"

I, for one, look forward to seeing more toilet links on WebWord.

I've encountered those toilets (but even more poorly labelled), I was sat down for several seconds before I realised I'd shut the door but not locked it, potentially rather awkward.

Anglia Trains - I can't get away from them, even on Webword! They share the line with my commuter service into London, and whenever there's a broken down train delaying services, you can guarantee it's an Anglia train. I thought this was a safe haven, but no...

The solution's obvious - wait until you get off.
