Do you leave the cubicle door open, running the risk of appearing to having forgotten to flush until you were out of the door? Or close it, with the risk of having to fake dress adjusting activity if someone enters the cubicle next door? Has anyone gone out and then returned for the file they left by the basin, and found you emerging from a second successive loo? Do you have to flush test the Ladies too?Brother Tobiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298549883526952305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-60788863859154851392009-09-14T10:32:21.498+02:002009-09-14T10:32:21.498+02:00AWB: urgh.

The scene you mention with your Grandfather when you were young, ( we used to get to do that too sometimes on hoilday with my Dad, but as you said it was different times) I see here every single day. I work one day a week at a nursery school and when I come out, I see small kids ( under 5s) standing on the front passenger seat witheir hands on the dashboard and their little faces inches from the windscreen.<br />People rarely use seatlbelts for kids in the back even though it ( only recently) became law. Babies sitting on Mum's knee.<br />Mother's with strollers chatting as they cross the street and never ever looking back to check the toddler is making it over the road safely.<br />People leaving their kids in cars when it's 36 degrees, while they shop or play pachinko, ( deaths every year).<br />People who smack their kids for hitting while saying 'don;t hit'.......I could go on and on.<br /><br />and ....don't hide your light under a bushel ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
