Rubbish. It's a security issue. It won't even be turned on at home (if the OP has any sense at all, that is).

I haven't contracted in the UK for a while, but IIRC it is important either to bring your own bog roll and/or steal their bog roll. But don't just turn up and use their bog roll without stealing any - that's a permie thing.

A proper contractor brings in their own bog roll
