When I saw the title of this post I immediately thought of a game that a Canadian officiating friend of mine once worked. I will not use real names to protect the guilty.

He was officiating a women's game between a Canadian college (home team) and a national team from one of the Scandanavian countries (visiting team). Prior to the start of the game it was discovered that the Vistor's were wearing their "home" jerseys. It was decided that the Home team would lend the Visitor's team their "away" jerseys. It was thought that the Visitor's would retire to the locker room to change jerseys, but the Visitor's decided to change jerseys at courtside. There was a collective sucking of air out of the arena as everybody discovered the most of the Visitor's not only did not wear sports bras, they did not wear bras at all.

Two questions:

1) did they change shorts, too
2) was everyone looking at the hair under their arms - oh wait, the team wasn't from France

Leave it to the Europeans for something like this.

Go use a restroom over there & you'll end up with a member of the opposite gender in there with you.

It's been a while since I've been to Europe, but I used to travel there regularly, and that never happened.

Well I have only been the one European country and that did not happen. But then again that was in an airport. Nothing like that in Africa either.

Peace

I would guess then that the unisex restrooms in Europe are being phased out then.

Damn good thing too. Those unisexuals were taking over the continent.

The only unisex restrooms anywhere I've been are single hole units with locks on the door.
