So glad I commute on the bike now...

(I suppose it adds a bit of weight to the phrase ‘dirty northern b_stards’ :stuck_out_tongue: )

Makes you want to travel wearing marigolds!:crazy:

my hubby thinks i’m mad as i wont hold onto the rails on public stairways or push the shop doors open by the handles! Guess this report on bbc just proves me right:D

They should simply stop crapping on themselves!?!

Seriously do people still not wash there hands after going to the bog?

Ewww disgusting :sick:

I am so with you there - the best thing about winter is that you can wear gloves without people looking at you strangely lol

I have seen lots of blokes come out of the cubical and leave the toilet without even glancing at the basins, doirty fuggers :w00t::w00t:

I went to a restaurant a couple of weeks ago where the sink and soap were within the toilet area, but the hot air hand-drier was outside so that it could be shared by both men and women. Basically, you wash your hands and then have to pull open a door by the handle, which other less sanitary individuals have grabbed and smeared with their detritus in order to dry your hands.

You then sit down and eat! :sick:

It’s not just these bacteria, it’s colds, coughs, etc. My sick record over the last few years with this type of illness is less than half what it was before I went back to commuting by bike. Not surprising really, stuck in a metal box for 2 hours a day with a hundred other people, any number of whom will at any time be suffering from some illness or other you’re bound to catch some of them. :sick:

I find if I’m on a pub and wash my hands after going to the loo, I get funny looks :w00t:

Thats because your supposed to use the toilets!lol:D

It’s all good for the immune system. Shoving my wheelchair round the streets and then picking up a sarnie at Greggs or summat… well… the amount of dog turd I must have eaten over the years doesn’t bear thinking about. You’re all wusses lol :w00t: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

Washing your hands in the toilets. Doesn’t sound very sanitary, but will give it a go. :smiley:

Is that a comment on the state of the pavements, or sandwiches from Greggs? :stuck_out_tongue:

Thats just wronger then a wrong thing on a wrond day!

Even wronger than the pink handlebars someone put on the Bandit I’ve just bought.

That’s 50/50, don’t start me about the lukewarm pasties…
