I have a couple of gripes with FGW^▸ 's refurbishment. Why can't they ever get anything completely right.

1, One toilet has been lost to a storage cupboard. Is there not ebough soom in teh Powercars/ guards vans? Or is ot just an excuse to reduce the number of toilets that need cleaning?

2. A large number of power sockets are damaged already because people kick them and rest their feet on them. Some are pointingthe wrong way and otehrs have lost their bezels. Why do people put their feet on them? because they are badly positioned.

Hpoefully its not people's feet because one a table was taped off where I was sitting the other day.
