My loo is in an alcove in our small bathroom, meaning to the right is an
external wall corner and to the left is the door opening, both just forward
of the loo and about a foot away.

(eg standing up, getting out of bed) hurt like a mother f*** bitch from
hell, I was indeed extremely grateful for those two grab points.

Indeed it does. I think those who dream up the wrong regs should spend a
