Dirty fecking gas man

Grim. I dont know how anyone could poo in a total strangers house.

By having a job that means you're out and about all day and you need to go?

Lois is right, if you need to poo, you need to poo. My H drives and is out for most of the day, if it weren't for the kindness of customers letting him use their loo I really don't know how he'd manage toilet wise.

But he could have stopped at a McDonalds ( someother place where they have public loos) and used theirs. And to leave skiddies is rank.

I really don't see anything wrong in using a persons toilet for a wee or a poo, I don't see the outrage at what he did, I do however see the outrage for the way he left the toilet, there's no excuse for that. We all wee and poo y'know.

If you don't know an area, you can't always find a place with public loos.

I have pooed in customers' toilets. If that makes me rank, feck it

I deliver magazines once every couple of months or so - I have to go, so I tend to use those in doctor's surgeries.

I prefer not to poo in public, but would if necessary. I would never leave skids though.

I feel your pain...we don't use our toilet brush as I once watched a prog about how germ ridden they are! I used to leave it with a spot of bleach in the holder but decided just to stop using it.

I clean our toilet literally every day with bleach and if any skids use a steradent (sp) tablet. Works every time....

WSS (except for the bit about no one ever leaving skids in my toilet, I do live with a man after all).

If there are skids, I put bleach down. I have one of those bleach bottles you squirt under the rim, and when I clean the bathroom I use a cloth, clean the toilet last and then throw the cloth away. Toilet brushes ming. I don't even like those little bleach things that sit under the seat and clean your toilet because they must just end up getting weed and pooed on, surely?

I agree. It's only natural and nothing to be ashamed of. Just clean up after yourself.

We use a cistern block. No idea if that really does kill all the germs but it makes the water go blue ?

LOL! My H is obsessed with these and buys loads of them the crazy fool. He also likes the pretty blue water ?

Those who manage without a loo brush obviously don't live in a hard water area. I have to scrub the porcelain under the water line otherwise it would go brown with limescale and look gross. And I'm not doing that with a cloth, thank you very much ?

"One would assume that those even with the most basic of educations would have spotted the toilet brush by the side of the toilet, " Ouch! The next British Gas engineer to pass your house could well be pooing through your letterbox! ?

British gas are going to be pissing themselves at that letter, and imagine you as a victor meldrew type with too much time on your hands, i can not believe you asked for compensation for a bit of a poo.

that bloke will get the poo fear now. but, if you poo, clean it up, you would have thought it goes without saying

? have a word with yourself, been spending too much time with nickj? ?

i got some of those from aldi. very 80s ?

i hate toilet brushes too, and ours leave rusty rings on the tiled floor. i think i'm going to do a mrs m and buy some from ikea

whatever i put down our loo, it always looks dirty. [50s housewife]how does one get rid of limescale and makes one's loo sparkle? [/50s housewife]

I stick bleach down my loo every day to keep it clean and leave a bottle next to the loo for anyone who leaves skiddies.

Dutty barstewards.

We use a swiss version of toilet duck. You don't need to leave it to work, and you don't need to scrub - it just leaves everything clean and sparkly. I have no idea what it has in it - probably something very, very scary to work that well that quickly!

Janna, I feel your hard water pain. I bought one of those Toilet Duck disposable-head-thingies and it's rubbish for limescaley loos.

I use flushable Jeyes loo wipes on most of the loo, it's only the bowl that gets the brush.

Actually, now I think of it, it's been months since I cleaned my loo. My cleaner does it, and for all I know she uses my toothbrush ?

well don't we all. other than wisemonkey of course ?

I'm loving the letter BGB. I have a similar story, but from the side of the person receiving the complaint - and yes we laughed, a lot.

When I worked in mortgages we had a customer complain about a valuer. Apparently he had asked to use the loo when he was in her house. The dirty bugger didn't flush the loo after having a poo. The customer rang, bloody furious about it, saying it was disgusting and her house was now stinking of poo. To add insult to injury, he had downvalued her house by £5k. Anyway after managing to stop laughing we asked her to fax a written complaint through and we would forward it on to the relevant valuer. When she faxed through it just said 'your valuer did a dump in my house, and didn't flush' ?. We sent it onto the offending person, strangely enough we never got a reply though.

I do actually and I dont see the issue with going below the water line to scrub. Its not like I lick my hands afterwards.

I use harpic limescale remover btw and its fab.

What they said. Surely toilets are for weeing and pooing in.

And I can't really see what's wrong with a toilet brush. It's not like you're going to clean your teeth with it?

After cleaning the loo with my brush I'll do an extra flush to clean the loo brush in clean water - can't see what the issue is with these really.

White vinegar is good to clear toilets, ours keep going brown but overnight with vinegar then using the brush sorts it.

Fret not, hard water ladies! For I have the answer!

Squirt of this every other day and a quick scrub under the water line and it stops the brown stains totally.

I copy HH

It's only poo; what's the problem?

I can't believe all the environment-destroying chemicals people are introducing to our water systems for the sake of a bit of calcium deposit.

(Is my attitude skewed by having to stick my finger up people's bottoms all the time? ?)

Calgon tablets work well with old limescale, throw one in the pan and it comes up lovely (for under the water line)

Exactly what they said.

And, I live in a hardwater area and I have NEVER had a brown toilet. Urgh ?

I'm with Sparkley on the 'don't have a loo brush' - they really ming!

My mother told me to put some paper down the pan first if you were going to poo - never leaves skids! Perhaps they should add that wonderful tip to the school curriculum.

Not sure I believe the full facts - ie the letter being sent but it's made me laugh and reminded me of the Hitched of old! thanks

I work in a very small shop. We had a delivery driver who used to regularly ask to use the toilet and then have a huge stinking dump leaving vile skidmarks ? The whole shop used to stink! We solved it by making an out of order sign for the door ?

Yack, that is grim.

When we moved into our last house and NTL came round to install the cable, one of the guys went to the loo and my sister went after him, and she told me he'd left a floater in the toilet ?

And when we moved into our current house, the previous occupants had left skid marks in the toilet (as well as a pubey sponge in the bath) ? - thankfully my sister cleaned it for me as she felt it was a bit grim for me in my first trimester of pregnancy chundering stage as I was then. How could someone leave their house like that, I made sure our toilet (and house in general - except maybe the oven ?) was bloody spotless when we moved out, I didn't want the new guy thinking we were a pair of manky buggers.

Hmm, have you noticed how both my manky toilet stories seem to involve my sister....?
