    My normal journey home involved a black cab, then a train, then a lift in the car. About 90 minutes. That day it took me most of the evening; I had to use every pub and public loo on the way.

    I started with the loo at my end of the corridor on the 8th floor. Then the one at the other end of the corridor. Then the one on the ground floor. Then the one at Reception at the other end of the building. Then the one in the pub across the road. Then the one in the pub at the end of the road. Then leap out of a taxi to use one in a pub on the way and more than once too. Then Euston until it was time for my train to leave. Then sat on the loo on the train all the way (a hideous experience), then the home station, then the Missus drove like a bat out of hell to get me home.

    Although I am sure I experienced a few other loos on the way.

    Talk about arse gravy. It would have passed through blotting paper.

    If you ate 33 1/3rd bananas, you'd turn inside out.

    I think it depends on the ripeness; unripe or just yellow bananas can give you constipation but very ripe or over ripe ones give you diarrhoea.

    Good luck tomorrow SA

    Regarding what bag to take - take the small one, and just listen to radio on your phone/ipod

    Ha ha - yes

    My boot has a "gym bag" in it, full of every toiletry I could ever need.

    And I have purfume and sun tan lotion in my glove compartment

    I read once that eating breakfast was worth 3% on a morning exam. An interview is just an exam of sorts, and maintaining your energy level is crucial.
    Ah excellent!!

    With everything I plan to eat on the train, I should be a shoe in then!
