UK Toilets
Following up to nitram
http://www.sbrewer.demon.co.uk/Miscellany/toilets.html I certainly agree about (the few) who use silly names instead of ladies and gents. As for standing next to creepy people, my experience is the opposite, twice having stood next to celebrity chefs in their restaurants, (Floyd and Stein). -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

I am amazed (well, no, I'm not -- disgusted is a better word) at the number of people who don't bother. I suspect that people in food preparation and service might be little better than the rest of the population. Perhaps it is better not to think about things like that. -- PB The return address has been MUNGED |

You're the first to ask that question, its usually a size related one to which I don't know the answer, having resolutely faced the wall as is required. As for the washing, neither were cooking at the time and I didn't notice anyway. Isn't it the convention to just push the button on the hand dryer as you walk out? :-) -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Nobody bothers to wash their hands unless somebody else is watching?? |

Nobody bothers to wash their hands unless somebody else is watching?? I suspect that about half of the people I observe don't wash their hands. I'm reasonably sure that the numbers who neglect to wash when there is nobody else present is greater -- but how could I know? -- PB The return address has been MUNGED |

Isn't it the convention to just push the button on the hand dryer as you walk out? :-) Not unless you want to pick up 10 zillion bacteria :-) Hence why I always use my elbow - I'm unlikely to ever be able to get that anywhere near my mouth! |

Although I don't know if I would have passed on a positive impression, if I had had one. -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |
