British adults being reminded to wash hands after defecating
In a move described by the United Nations as 'troubling' the UK's Health Protection Agency said a key measure in containing the E coli outbreak was to make sure people did not forget to clean both hands after wiping faeces from their anus.
this bit amused me:
Meanwhile the source of the unpleasantness which caused the E coli outbreak remained a mystery, even though experts pointed out that any food travelling by land from Spain to Germany would have to go through France.

Many a true word spoken in jest. Mark Collett (of BNP fame) is frequently to be seen leaving the loos without washing his hands, even after a "number 2".
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

I read this in some 'serious' thing, perhaps QI 2?
in which the comment was made that in the UK something like 90% said they did, but a secret camera survey showed it was more like 60%.
However in France 50% (the dirtiest habits) openly admitted to not bothering and as a result some guy had invented a loo which doesn't unlock the door until you've washed your hands
Whilst giving my dude some relief, the janitor of our building walked in to our men's room, pushed his garbage cart/mop bucket out of the way, lay his mop gently against the porcelin tiled wall and proceeded to do some number 2 business. It was confirmed when one could hear the sound of the door locking as that poor toilet succumbed to this outright vulgar physical abuse. ("you can smell the guy a mile away" some say). I had drunk twenty cups of tea which is not good, pee wise, so there i am draining end somehow the janitor's number two finished earlier. You could hear the screams as the toilet let out a flushing screeeeech!The door unlocks, walks past his tools and abruptly exits the bathroom. There was no sound of fresh clean water rushing out to remedy the filth encrusted hands that he obviously held tight to himself. The problem. there is only one way out of the bathroom. Can you imaging that I had to lterally grab the door from the bottom to open the door, so that I could avoid the door knob. Paper towels would be useful here but unfortunatley hot air blowers are the universal in this building. And I was not going to fetch tiolet paper in that stall. After it was all finished I felt sick and dirty and need to go home.....oh the horror!!!!
