May I put in a plea to all establishments with public toilets to consider the mildly disabled, such as myself?

I am totally independent but, because of a weak leg, have great difficulty getting up from seats without something to lean on.

Toilet roll holders are not the strongest of items when it comes to taking a person's weight.

It only requires a bar on a wall, perhaps in only one toilet, but it would stop the need to behave like a landed fish in the effort to find a hand-hold.

The other problem is fitting rooms in dress shops. Yes, there are chairs but usually with no arms.

Please, in these days when disabled people are considered in all aspects of life, could this not also apply?
