Spending six hours on the floor of a nightclub toilet wasn't how I imagined my evening out would go.

Matthew Bassett from BBC Wales reports on the lack of accessible toilets and investigates the general unhygienic state of the facilities.

    It really is. I was shocked when it was aired on BBC News this morning @Lucy_Scope

    Attitudes towards disabled facilities need to change. Access to public toilets is a human right not a privilege.

    That wasn't a nice read at all, UK establishments definitely need to do better.

    Though I will cheer on my old local, they take great pride in being super accessible and have lovely toilets.

    I believe that it is necessary to introduce tax breaks for infrastructure for people with disabilities, but at the same time serious fines if it is not maintained in proper condition.

    That must have been so traumatising and to hear noting changed doesn't surprise me
