We will have to keep washing our hands!

It’s sad that the authorities have had to remind the public to wash their hands frequently - I thought that was basic personal hygiene in any case?

Unfortunately not Ron, I feel people have become too complacent in our modern germ free world, one could argue hygiene was worse years ago but I think people back then took personal hygiene as a given. I'm amazed at work how often I see people exit the toilet and walk straight out without even a glance at the tap :cry:

No, wasn’t anywhere near as classy as that, it was The Glaswegian on Bridge St in the Gorbals :o don’t think it’s there anymore.

An absolute eye opener, heaving full of women from11 until about 3 then they went home to collect kids/make the tea then their husbands who appeared in straight from finishing work, home for aforementioned tea then back in the pub by 6;30 until closing. Same routine everyday. Was like the Wild West, particularly at the weekend when as a treat to the wife they were allowed to tag along too on a Saturday afternoon until about 5 :rofl: :rofl:

Used to work on the door across from Nice n Sleazy reasonably regularly in The Garage and just along the road at the Stakis Casino next to the Mitchell Library

      I've witnessed many a work colleague use the urinals and exit without even touching a tap :headbang: it's absolutely disgusting and always the same people that do it.
