Yuck, moral of the story must be to never shake hands with someone you meet on public transport and to probably avoid it altogether in Newcastle.

Commuting is shit official, though only ever used to get vomit on me and almost always my own!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Djmiles]

What a load of shit!

 

[champion7]

I'm not surprised about this study,for years people have been catching allsorts on the london underground.
I can't believe some one has been paid to study something we all ready know.

Dirthy northern bastards - official!

As if people actually go to the loo and then don't wash their hands - urgh.

The Beeb recon that this may actually be partly at fault for the winter vomiting virus.

 

[pasty]

"The further north they went, the more often they found commuters with faecal bacteria on their hands "

Finally, proof positive. All together now.....

YOU DIRTY NORTHERN BASTARDS

Interesting to note that manual workers are cleaner than office working professionals.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Since manual workers tend to get their hands dirty, I suspect the habit of hand washing is, er, ingrained.

Unlike a lot of white collar workers who think that their hands are clean all the while there's no actual, visible dirt on them.

Not surprised to discover this though. It's another reason why I don't like buffets!

the worst ok ever saw was in the gents at circus circus at Preston circus a few years back. I tend to note if blokes are washers or walkers after going to the loo. I avoid the walkers.

This one Chinese chap had a pee and didn't wash his hands. He did however dry them on the hand drier. I nearly gagged

Really, as few as that?

Bugger: I'm going out to watch the England match with a Geordie tonight. I wonder if he'll be offended if we sit at different tables - or even different pubs!!

 

[Elder for England]

I'm already a bit paranoid about this sort of thing on public transport, this just makes it worse!

Elder for England and work colleague wait for the next Victoria line train......

that made me laugh. Well it could well happen.. but I'd prefer pink gloves.

 

[Elder for England]

I never, ever wash my hands in public toilets. Just thinking of all the people who have shat/pissed then touched the taps is disgusting.

Really you don't?

Just do what I do most times, get a bit of tissue to hold the taps *hygienefreak*
