am disgusted with the amount of people where i work who do not wash their hands when going to the toilet...i estimated 8 in the past 3 days.....i always wash mine twice....the thought of someone handling your sausage rolls or your cream bun ....well it doesn't bear thinking about.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)))):

always - it makes me feel sick that some people don't.

Yes I do. Deanna X

always

off topic a bit, daughter pointed something out to me today that I hadnt noticed before, she had to have blood test done. when the nurses take blood tests they dont seem to wash their hands before each patient, is this normal practise. this is at the local path lab. jean

Always. I'm amazed at how many women walk straight out of a cubicle in public loos and leave without washing their hands. Gross! Mags x

jackie they done a study years ago and put peanuts chrisps an tested the ice machine behind a bar...they found faeces in all where the staff and customers didn't wash their hands...also in the peanuts...so next time you decide to grab a nut from the bar think againxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((((:

lisa - never eat food from bowls on bars, for that very reason! Well, not unless I'm absolutely s**t faced - but those days are long gone now that I'm a mum. Jackie :-)))))))

Wish you hadn't told me about the ice machine, though........

I don't wash mine GOING to the loo but I certainly wash them after using the loo!!! :-))))

well i'd expect you to wash your hands before handling MY sausage roll or my buns! lol!

I actually had a visit today from a Plebotomist from our hospital Path Lab. She uses an alcohol hand wash before and after each test, as they do in the hospital. That may be why your daughter did not see the nurse wash her hands. Deanna X

paul!!!!!!!LOlxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx((((:

I was just going to say that - they don't wash their hands as such, they use an alcohol rub which sterilises their hands better than washing

At work, (I work in an office) we have the choice of soap & water, or the waterless soap, the same stuff they use in hospitals, and I use the waterless stuff most times, unless I have been using the date stamper, then I'm worse than kids for getting covered in ink...lol, by the way the waterless soap is also good for clearing up some skin conditions.

paul and deanna, they must do it quick then, because the next patient goes in the same time the last one comes out. jean

Be interesting to see if anyone admits to being a rancid little toad, pmsl.

I always wash my hands after using the loo. BUT I always wash them once, no need to wash them twice if you do it properly the first time. I always wash my hands after working with children at school, as although encouraged, not all of them wash their hands after loo time, and some may not do it properly.

Well, my Phlebotomist does it in front of me, and so does our practice nurse. Maybe you just have a dirty one!! LOL Deanna X

Bet they don't Bendy........
