Viv, you had mirrors in the rest room that weren't covered up by the attendants? You were lucky!
Joanna, somehow I just knew you would make an appearance on this thread!
Anyway, before they rebuilt Twickenham stadium, the gents loos were just plain disgusting, they literally had no sinks to wash you hands - gross!
By the urinals there was a tap, and every so often one of the volunteer brothers would fill a plastic washing up bowl full of the water from this tap and put it on a trestle table with paper towels and soap. All the brothers then used this water to wash their hands.
After a while this hand washing water would be absolutely gross, no decent person would even think about washing their hands in this evil soapy grey liquid, with about a billion germs per millilitre in it. Well, as a child, I always just used the tap in the corner, but only if the "bowl filler" brother wasn't watching, because on numerous occasions I was shouted at by this stupid brother for turning on the tap. "Stop that! Use this water to wash your hands young man!". Then these jumped up little Hitlers would also tell you off for using more than one paper towel! It's amazing how a person can turn into a power-crazed maniac if you give them a volunteer badge!
Ewwww!
