Gent's toilets

Mike mentioned on Monday that I hadn't posted much on here. I told him that I hadn't really had a lot to say, and anyway I'm not really the writing type. Anyhow iceSheffield is a great facility, but the toilets reminded of something I've noticed in quite a few places I've been recently...

Now in the Gent's we normally get a number of cubicles, and then there's the urinals. So you go and do whatever it is that you wanted to pay a visit for then you go to wash your hands.

Now can somebody tell me why the number of sinks is never anywhere near enough? Aren't we supposed to wash our hands? That's certainly the opposite of what I've been told all my life.

Then of course you need to dry your hands. For some reason there's a tendancy to have less hand dryers than sinks. Now taking into account the efficiency of the average warm-air hand dryer, it takes around three times longer to dry your hands than to wash them. Now surely that should mean that there are three times more driers than sinks?

But you're forgetting the fundamental truth that most men these days actually wear a hand-drying device when they venture out. It's called a pair of trousers.
