Having recently learnt that we have to have EU permission to flush our loos now we are being told we can't keep our carpets clean!

Am I missing something?

( We are, apparently, using too much water to flush our loos - explains a lot about continental ones then doesn't it and now we can't use decent hoovers to clean our carpets!!!!)

sooner we are out of that the better. How can one trust an organisation whose auditor refuses to sign the accounts for many years.

'Now wash your hands' was a fairly common sign in public toilets of yesteryear. To complement the hygienic event, there used to be a 'global hand-washing day'.

But the local authorities must have instigated a cost-cutting analysis in recent years because there is a dearth of these instructional reminders now.

Why do we try to be like the rest when we clearly aren’t?
