Tea, Toilets and Totty; if all of them look good then it’ll probably an OK gig. When one or more begin to look a bit dodgy then you’ll know it’s going to be trouble.How did this happen? Who's to blame?

At my last gig, they had notices in the toilets saying 'Please leave this cubicle in the state you would wish to find it'. I had a little game with myself - each time I went to the toilet, I had to imagine a worse state which someone might wish to find the cubicle in (and would therefore leave it in, as instructed).Comment
