Top marks to Primark

Visiting a branch of the clothing store "Primark" in Ealing/London, I was astonished to find they had a changing room designed by someone professional, understanding the special needs of a disabled shopper. Not only was the cubicle spacious enough to enter in one's wheelchair, but there was plenty of room for two other people, a permanent secured seat at the same height as a standard wheelchair with bars conveniently positioned on the walls. Large full length mirrors placed on two walls enabling easy viewing; hooks on the walls and the most helpful staff. Other stores could learn much from a visit to this store to see what should be common place in all department stores. Understandably smaller independent shops may not have the necessary area to designate such a large space for disabled persons, but large stores have no excuse. Shopping for clothes when disabled is exhausting and very difficult, so any help, such as thoughtfully designed changing rooms is something very much appreciated.
