Also - sorry to bitch, but when will the water in the toilets be fixed? Not being able to wash your hands is a bit grotty...!

Farmer Giles (ex-Risactonia) did all the art on the walls.

No problem it pisses me off too, but fixing it would cost tens of thousands of pounds. According to various plumbers we have spoken to the only way to improve the flow would be to demolishing half of the buildings interior as the pipes in question cannot be traced without ripping down all the walls and ceilings.

The environmental health have inspected us regularly over the course of the past 6.5 years and they are satisfied with the hand washing facilities.

There is running water in the gents, it just doesn't run very fast and you have to push the taps down quite hard. The tap on the right works best.

There is substantial medical and scientific evidence that suggest that it's healthier not to wash one's hands after taking a piss, unless the person in question is suffering from a urine infection, is carrying an STD, or hasn't showered/bathed for a while. There is nothing dangerous in piss, in fact quite the opposite, it has great curative effects and rubbing it into a bruise, open wound, or sores greatly facilitates healing. It's also drinkable albeit a little salty. It is now generally accepted that people would be better of washing their hands before they piss. But what ever you do, don't drink Biz's piss (or should that be pizz) as he believes it carries typhoid (perhaps he's been shagging corn beef).

Shitting is a very different matter.

HOT TIP: Personally I take a shit at home before I leave the house, as I much prefer my own toilet to the one in the bar (or any bar). Shitting in a pub toilet is a last resort and best reserved for emergency situations only

FYI - The bar staff have their own dedicated hand washing sink behind the bar with lashings of liquid soap, hot water, and clean dry towels.

I believe that establishments selling food and drinks should have hot running water and soap .
Typhoid can only spread in environments where human feces or urine are able to come into contact with food or drinking water. Careful food preparation and washing of hands are therefore crucial to preventing typhoid.

If hot running water is good enough for the staff, SURELY it is good enough for the punters.

Taps like the ones in The Moorings and Tunnels are useless, especially if you only have one hand .

At least the ones in Tunnels make a great sound - a bit like a Brass instrument .

That waxy soap in the Moorings is taking the piss too.

I want my hands fresh and clean, NOT, stinky and uncomfortable after washing.
The hand dryer is nae bad .

Here's what happens when you eat piss and shit...

In August 1963 a new supermarket opened in Aberdeens West-end. It was very modern in design and layout, part of a new trend away from traditional small shops to larger self-service supermarkets. This supermarket was one of seven opened during 1963 by a Dundee-based chain, William Low & Co., who since the late 1950s had been very forward-looking in adapting and expanding their existing branch network. By May 1964 the shop had established a regular clientele and was becoming a successful branch. Disaster struck sometime between 7 and 9 May when a six lb can of Argentinian corned beef was opened and was sold sliced from the cold meat counter over the next few days. Later it was discovered that the can had been cooled during processing in untreated river water and the typhoid organism was presumed to have entered through a small hole in the seam. Although there had been no specific typhoid outbreak near the factory, it has been estimated that sixty-six tons of excrement and 250,000 gallons of urine entered the river every day. This state of sanitary hygiene was ideal for the spread of the typhoid bacillus, especially in a country that recorded over 10,000 cases of typhoid per year in the early 1960s.

Does the female bog have hot running water?

I'm anal about hand washing. I don't like the fact that I have to use one hand to hold down the tap, thus I can only wash one hand at a time. So after I wash one hand I have to use my clean hand to push down the tap that other people's pissy, shitty hands have been all over. This can normally be remedied by using a paper towel to push down the tap with your clean hand, but this is not possible in an establishment which uses hand driers. I also use this technique to open the door, as other people's filthy, pissy, shitty hands have been all over the door handle after they've had a slash and not washed their hands. If, as pointed out before , this is not possible due to lack of paper towels then I'll try to select a part of the handle that doesn't get used much, ie the very very top of it (as most people will grab the middle), or by using an arm of sleeve, or simply wait for someone to come through the other way.

Anyway. What you should consider is some of that hand sanitiser that they have at T in the Park in dispensers that you squirt onto your hands and rub in. Then you don't need water.

When I worked for the gardens department of Moray Council we used those sanitiser hand towels; which were fantastic. Especially after you go through dog poo with a strimmer

Get a little bottle of the Carex Hand Sanitiser stuff.. Works a treat and is well handy if you're somewhere without decent running water, etc.

Either that or stop being such wimps! A few germs aren't going to do you too much harm Lol.
