Travel and the Nanny State - Tidy the Toilets As You Go

  Commentators on forums complain, "Why do we need to be told this?' and 'Surely it's common sense' and 'We don't want a nanny state.
   Sorry, but we do. A trip along your nearest motorway and a stop at the toilets will tell you that the washrooms need to be checked every hour,whether it's one cubicle or 20. If not, the place degenerates into a slum. the average person cannot take the new toilet roll off the shelf to replace the one which has run out. Some people can't or won't wipe up after themselves.
   Very few are nannies who not only leave a place as they found it, but try to clear up the mess left by others before they start.
  I used to sometimes clear up others' mess after I finished, out of a sense of tidiness and gratitude to the establishment owners for supplying free facilities. Then one day I realised that it's better to clear up before you start, so you can enjoy the pleasure of a nice clean place.
