Slippery When Wet, Delights and Disasters in Singapore Toilets


Floor slippery when wet. These are signs you see in Singapore toilets (rest rooms the Americans say). England is not immune. We also have warning signs in gyms near swimming pools in the UK fitness clubs. 

So you can go to a UK fitness centre and slip and injure yourself. It's absurd.

Why are the floors slippery when wet? Why can't they invest in non-slip matt surace, slightly undulating floor tiles? Or what about an overlay of trellis to tread on?

I found out the reason for the sign about food waste in the basins. In Singapore, after a couple of hours I went back to the ladies' rest room. Somebody had left crumbs in one of the washbasins. The edge was teeming with ants!
