My Southern Prejudices Confirrmed

So Mother was right ~ don't go North of Watford she warned, you'll get "things" in your hair.

More than one in four commuters has bacteria from faeces on their hands, an investigation suggests.

Scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine swabbed 409 people at bus and train stations in five major cities in England and Wales.

The further north they went, the more often they found commuters with faecal bacteria on their hands - men in Newcastle were the worst offenders.

 sick2:

Toilet hygiene  cussing: When using "trap 1 or trap 2" at work I will hear colleagues come in, use the urinals and go back out without washing their hands. Others will bypass the hand drier, run there hands past the air dryer so that as they come out of the toilets anybody outside will think that they've washed their hands because they can hear the drier blowing. I reckon only 3 out of 10 men wash their hands after using the toilet at our place

Personally I even wash my magnifying glass after taking a leak.
