ESL English Lesson: Should cafes in the UK have toilets in them?
D.J. Robinson
Today, let’s talk about whether cafes in the UK should have toilets in them. Well, should they? I discovered that this is actually a wonderful topic to debate. Yes, really! After all, we all need to spend a penny.
I was intrigued to read about a recent court case in Hull, England. The court debated whether a bakery with a cafe in should provide toilets or not. The bakery in question is predominantly a takeaway, but does provide some seats for customers. Therefore it argued it should not need to provide a toilet.
