I take hygiene seriously, I expect to be able to wash my hands in establishments that sell food, this is why - History of the Aberdeen Typhoid outbreak 1964 - History

[Teabags]

man toilets, tap on the right, actually hit it (not too hard) and it works just fine.

I like the ones which you stick your hands into and they squirt them with soap, then give plenty hot water and then nice hot air, they work a treat and save on paper towel and soap dispenser costs, why should I have to lower my standards when on the piss? , surely the punters health and well being should be a priority in establishments keen on return trade.
I canna even be arsed writing on the walls, it's too dark to read in there, and anyway if I DID, it would be purile pish like this...

I widnae lay a log in yer sesspit bog
if ye offered fifty quid or a 10 minute snog.

I liked the typhoid epidemic....we got off primary school, and I remember playing in the wreck of a car behind the Well of Spa bar (where the Denburn Health Centre is nowadays).

Happy times!!!

judging by those fecal freak ruler and shit photos - ( I thought the photos of sticking pint glasses onto arses, and dirty sanchezing punters were bad ), and the care less attitude toward public hygiene, I'm sure you could pick up something rather nasty, it's likely to be a toothless, anorexic, one legged hooker, with the ability to suck a golf ball through a hose whilst hailing a taxi, eating chips and smoking a tab, but there ye go, something for everybody, there will even be real punk rock bands. I hope Bobby has washed his finger -he is taking the door money, and I know where that finger has been - thank goodness for me getting in for free, I winna get ony shitey change in my pooch.

Of course your strong ethical and moral code will not prevent you from playing a gig here tonight... provided you get paid.

We are not a hopital or microprocessor manufacturing lab therefore hygene, whilst necessary, is not the main reason for our exitence. Yet you are still far less likely to catch a flesh eating disease in our toilets than in the ones at ARI.

Prior to our refurb at the beginning of 2004, the toilets were roughly on par with those in CBGB's, and the Dept of Environmental Health had ordered us to address that situation.

The old toilets were completely gutted (the walls were demolished and the floor dug out) and the existing ones were built to replace them. Incidentally the cost of this undertaking was roughly the same as the cost of our sound system, we just don't benefit from the same return on it.

The toilets now fully comply with modern regulatory requirements. Like all bars we are subject to an annual inspection fromt he Dept of Enviromental Health, which we pass every year. The toilets are of a very hygenic design being constructed out of tile, stainless steel, and glass. Only the ceilings remain plasterboard. The edges of the floor are fitted with tile coving. The much hated stainless toilet pots are the most hygenic type available, because germs find it hard to invade their mirrored surface, and the punters can easily remove any drips using toilet paper.

There are intact locking cubicles, flushing cisterns, urinal cakes, toilet paper, running water, soap, ventilation, hand dryers, and automatic air freshener. The only thing we are considering adding is dehumidifiers to remove some condensation.

The lighting, and lack of flat surfaces in the cubicles are only an issue for people seeking to prepare, consume, or sell drugs - activities that are punishable by an instant lifetime ban without warning. Please take note.

Our bar staff have a separate sink, which is dedicated to handwashing, and is kitted out with anti-bacterial soap.

The toilets are fully cleaned twice daily.

Despite our toilets being heavy duty we still incur substantial upkeep and vandalism related costs every year. And, like all bars, water is our single biggest and most expensive consumable.

What I am unable to do is stop men from pissing on the floor, but perhaps their penises are just too small to reach the urinal, although my own 2 incher always succeeds in closing the gap . There is however a drain inlet in the floor to soak up the worst of any overspill.

If you prefer the all-in-one soap dispensing McSinks that dry your hands then go hang out in McDonalds.

If you don't like shitting in our toilets then do it before you leave the house like everyone else does. Most civilised people consider crapping in public toilets to be reserved for emergencies only.

I will of course make the promoters aware that you would prefer to play other more hygenic venues (wherever those are), and only to book your bands as a last resort, since it's clearly traumatic for you to have to visit anywhere without a soap dispenser.

So congratulations - you've totally suceeded in pissing me off.

It gets a bit steamed up, so we may to fit a dehumidifer to sort that out. You'll notice two types of light above it, white and yellowish. The yellowish ones should be white too and are getting swapped out soon. The yellowish ones shining up from the sink unit are correct though.

Sadly, plenty others are pretty stinky tae, they seem to forget that people don't like holding their breath whilst wading around in piss, and actually like to have facilities which serve the purpose for which they were intended, but, the RUNNING WATER description is a bit misleading, it's mair like trickling whilst ye strain yersel. I think we deserve hygeinic establishments, if that offends ye, then stick to documenting turds, Vic Reeves made a book about it and made enough money to wipe his arse with Swans necks for a year... or something.
Us punk rockers could teach ye a a thing aboot hygiene and manners - unlike our glowing portrayal in the media, REVOLT NOW DEMAND BETTER TAPS
( and the installation of urinals drunks can aim at )
AYE, we a ken ye have a small knob, and have nae problem aiming it, just dinna point that thing at me, I am mentally scarred for life having seen you manipulate your rather impressive scrotum outside the front door of the pub, I hope ye washed yer hands, or was a few yoga lessons and good cats dicht wi yer tongue sufficient?.
He he he, it's great that you have a fecal freak hobby, and quite bizarre that you are worked up about a punter stating facts about the inadequate supply of hot water or indeed easily accessible cold water - I hope we get paid enough to buy some wet wipes, lack of soap is one thing but NAE RUNNING WATER?, och me , I would write to The Gaudie and complain but they would only screw it up, like 62% of the other bollocks they print.
Oh!, and that hand drier is like a vespa - except lamer, tak a leaf oot o The Globe or Lemon Trees book, and get ane wi a real Harley ROAR tae it, cheers Biz.

...........mechty what a contentious/err contagious issue. Biz, I reckon you'd like the bogs at Schipol Airport - yo just have to press your foot down on the flush that's on the floor. I'm a fan of it too.....and if you've ever been to some parts of the U.S.A you'd love the revolving (new bit every time I'm told) bit of plastic that guarantees a fresh seat every time you have a 'sit down'. You just press a button and round it comes......actually saw a toilet like that in Prague in the summer come to think. You may be a fan of that anti-bacterial handwash you can get in small bottles. It's the business when yer at a music festival or something....you may have stashes already??

I like the Moorings bar

[Biz]

I love the Moorings bar tae - but the taps are insulting to my intelligence and the hand dryers are gay, at least the bogs dinna frequently smell of crap like certain other areas in the nearby vacinity.
