    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? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      ... or that you've just been to the toilet.

      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).

          In this month alone I've had 3 interviews and 2 very good offers. The phone is going everyday now.

            Diver, exactly how are you familiar with the writings on most of the public toilet walls in your locale? Does Mrs Diver know about this?
