Cross your legs and prepare for take-off: Ryanair reveals plan to have just ONE toilet on each plane to make room for more seats
Airline's plan would make space for six extra seats
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary argues move 'would fundamentally lower air fares by about five per cent'
The airline's longest route route from UK is service to Rhodes in Greece which takes four-and-a-half hours
Move would see 200 people on flight vying for access to sole lavatory

Granted, this is from The Daily Mail so who knows if it's true.
Or another of O'Leary's publicity stunts.
But this is a new low, even for RyanAir. This would be one thing on a short cross-Channel hop, say, STN-AMS, but they do fly some longer routes. Many years ago, I flew Pacific Express on one the 737-200s they had leased from Aloha. AQ, with its 20-30 min hops, had only ordered one lavs for its plane. This was on something like Redmond, OR to SFO, so no big deal. But the F/As told of working a West Coast-ORD charter. For group of senior citizens. The said the line went all the from the aft to in front of the exit row. Keep that in mind before you fly FR from London to Rhodos!
