Regular readers of this blog will know we sometimes highlight Ludicrous Loos and Ridiculous Ramps. In October 2017 we held our annual BBS Awards for exceptional venues who have both accessibility and style. The highlight of every year is the Best Accessible Loo Award, the most prized of all the Awards, (we already have nominations for 2018) and the worst or ‘Ludicrous Loo’ Award – the one that always causes a gasp of astonishment. There are always plenty of nominees for Ludicrous Loo, see the 2016 Awards .
