A woman has told how was refused entry to a toilet in a Costa Coffee store unless she purchased an item beforehand.
Amanda Harris was in need of the toilet whilst out shopping when she decided to pop into the Costa Coffee in Mallard Road Retail Park, Bournemouth, Dorset.

In the end Ms Harris, who is aged in her 40s, went into the nearby Smyths toy store to use their loos.
Ms Harris said: "I was heading to PC World but I needed a wee and I'll be totally honest, I'm a lady of a certain age and sometimes we get a little bit cross-legged and desperate.
