ROTM...?

Or just sh...IT?

Have you seen "Turkish" style toilets?

No seat - they're not much to go on...

Do not rain..

"Do not rain, while the train, is standing at the station", obligatory quote from Douglas Adams.

SIgn seen in toilets on virgin trains last week

Do not block the toilet with sanitary products and nappies, use the bin provided.

Spent ages trying to get the bin down there but couldn't manage it. Must be in the technique.

Risk Assessment????

A MANDATORY requirement when using a public convenience on any form of public transport.

(And some train / bus stations and Airports too)

Did she make a visual check of the pan for blockage and potentially biohazardous material?

Did she make sure the door was capable of being secured?

Did she ensure there was sufficient sanitary material ( bog roll) to ensure she didn't place her fellow passengers at risk?

A recent influx of additional readers compared to 3 months ago. The cause? One can only assume the masses have realised the impending mechanised apocalypse is fast approaching, and must demand IT angles on any and all writing. Thus they hope to glean some clue as to how our soon-to-be cloud based overlords can be defeated.

Otherwise, no comment... fellow commentards have covered the topic quite nicely. :-)
