I wash mine before I go to the toilet too.

Actually it was an excellent post

@LIW I don't believe English is Me Me's first language so your cheap shot re 'wether' was just that... A cheap shot

Cool, so your only reference point for more than a billion people is what you get told on here and at the right wing rally's you attend? (Oh look, I can do straw man too!)

I am sure they do in the cities. The people coming into the UK working in the factories are mainly from backward rural areas. I once went to Albania on business, saw some peeing openly in the street and some crouching down doing a no 2

Having said that I would prefer to crouch behind a bush than use those stand up ones looking at other peoples poos that have not gone down the hole

in the DHL warehouse actually but whose counting...........

I can remember going to music festivals an seeing a spring of urine coming out of the ground near the so called gents loos.
Every hedge had its collection of used papers etc.
I never realised that my fellow festival goers were all east Europeans.

No, I meant at 'home' in the UK, or where they are living in UK.

Second point. Yes, I know what you mean, (I think). It seems to be a problem at railway stations, particularly at Norwich station toilet. My original home (the city, not the station).

There we are, another British standards issue---- Railway station Loos!!!!

You evidently never went to the toilets at half time at a First Division football match in the 60's ;-)

but then like all such organisations maintaining the cleanliness of toilets is difficult, especially when expecting staff with other duties to "pop in and sort out from time to time"

although I remember the spotless state of the toilets in Delhi airport, little man who sat there all day cleaning after every user, always with a smile on his face, he had a sense of duty.......

Then going to Heathrow where they are some of the foulest places known to man - only 20% the size of Delhi, despite the millions of people using them, the queue's, the lack of paper, the lack of soap, taps continually dripping, urinals blocked and/or leaking. And the number available in each of the terminals mean that closure of one for 30mins for cleaning will cause major problems to all concerned.

And a UK hotel who regularly had functions of 150-200 with toilets designed for use by a few passing visitors, and no emergency plumber on call when they had a blockage......

and to be honest, they aren't much better now,
but then at the lower leagues it was more a case of someone remembering to move the sight screen from the cricket pitch so the guys could "nip behind"


small wonder women don't go too often

Even Wembley has excellent facilities but if you went today there would be piss all over the floor.

Maybe they should have taken DHL's idea up for games like when Poland who had more tickets than us came, and install Squat toilets to appease the fans.

as I know very well the man in charge of the facilities at Wembley I am sure that the state of the floor will annoy him

Indeed. The reactions I am interested in provoking are rational thought and common courtesy.

This was, in this particular instance, brought on by reading your delightful post where you refer to "potty training" grown adults, saying that they are not "house broken", a term reserved for animals among those with a reasonable command of the English language. Presumably you also wished to get a reaction with this post, unless this is simply your usual way of talking.

It is, of course, a long-valued British standard to simply take the piss when that is warranted, hence my remark about hands and wiping. I, for one, wish to uphold this important British standard.

I can only speak for the female toilets at Heathrow but they are very clean, Gatwick too. It does suprise me how many don't wash their hands. Most hotels now have a handspray before entering the dining room...not many use it

Who knows what goes on behind the scenes in the kitchens of expensive hotels and restaurants ?
I've seen enough myself to much prefer eating at home.

Here's a couple of examples,
.......often one grubby cloth to wipe the sweat of their brows and elsewhere before using it to clean the edge of the of plates and that's after poking about in the food with their fingers to rearrange it.

No time to wash their hands after the toilet, cos they're all too busy running around like blue arsed flies trying to keep up with the orders.
