    Cleaner bogs!
    The cleaners at clientCo all hail from distant shores.

    They do a damned good job too - I doubt our bogs would be cleaner without them.

    Don't know why I haven't managed to drop a hint all these years. One of these fine notices will come in very handy.

    BTW: this guy is a Brit.

    It should be embarrassing that watching Karl Pilkington in "An Idiot Abroad" would be an eye-opening cultural education for you.

    China: An idiot abroad - Toilets in China - YouTube
    India: An Idiot Abroad - Karl's first night in India - Video Dailymotion

    There you go, you're now a modicum less ignorant. But surely no less full of bitterness.
