Can't wait card

Where can I get a can't wait card please. When I need to go I have to go, I have to get to a toilet quick and struggle to hold it to get to a toilet. A lot of shops won't let you use their toilets and tell me where the public toilets are. They just don't understand how urgent it is that I need to get to a toilet,

Hi I got one from the ibs network online, you have to join though, I thought it might be worth it to keep up to date with any cures that might come about.

Go to RADAR website cost about 4 pounds sterling. Sometimes local councils or tourist info offices can sell you one too.

This is tru and SO frustrating!

I was shopping in Matalan once and you know how it is,just HAD to go!

I stopped a sales girl and asked where the customer toilets where.

'Oh,we dont have any!' I could have crid but got out my card and told her it was URGENT,but no joy.

So then I asked if sh had heard of the Disability Act. That moved her and she went and got her supervisor. Still no joy. She said I would have to walk down th road to McDonalds. Argh!

I pointed out this was discrimination and Id take it further and she suddenly said I cud use their staff loo.

Well,was that hard? Why couldnt they do this at the start?

So someone had to escort me and wait outside in case I decided to stick a few pairs of jeans up my jumper!

How embarrassing is that? Its not exactly a quiet process when you get the loo is it?

I got my card from the IBS Network,by the way. I also got a RADAR key and the first time I used it,it wouldn't open the door!!! Arghgghghgh!

So frustrating,good luck!
