Lewis Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm gonna start spraying them with my own after shave and then take a quid LMAO, that would be very funny, spray him in the face and rob his saucer! Works equally well with MACE, Toilet cleaner and CK One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I've experienced this a few times and the gentleman in question has always been a smartly dressed chap, usually of retirement age, very discreet and polite - maybe I go to a different type of establishment to you? Edit: And I don't mean I visit the types of places where you might meet George Michael before anyone suggests it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Pretty standard fare in Guildford - has been for years - if they get out of order at all, they bring in Girls Aloud for the evening to sort them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Never heard of this? Bloody parasites, glorified begging imo. Saying that they deserve something if they do their job well is rubbish too, I'm well capable of wiping my a*se without some idiot blackmailing me for the loo paper. Is there nothing these guys won't do to con cash out of people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I find this unbelievable, what sort of places do you lot go to? Like CJ, I have never even heard of this sort of thing. We are in a time warp here, a black man gets raised eyebrows if he walks IN some local pubs. Heaven knows what the farmers and rugby lads would make of someone lurking in the gents wanting money for "spraying" them I mustn't get out more, the whole thing sounds thoroughly disreputable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 You get them a lot up here in Leeds, can't say I've ever felt pressured into paying them though but I have done on occasion for some smelly stuff or a lolly when I've had a few. If they were demanding payment or withholding toilet roll I'd have words. I do remember chatting to one of them while being extremely pissed once, he told me that no they didn't get paid by the bar just kept what they got given by customers. He was studying law at university and said working two nights a week easily paid all his rent/bills for the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 There are ladies handing out smelly stuff and hairspray and general advice in most of the toilets of pubs in Portsmouth. It normally gets to the stage where you can't get to the sinks because of lipgloss applications and hairspray shooshing. I like them though, they don't do any harm. And the 'you go girlfriend' advice is amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The problem is, it has changed from being an offered upmarket service to something that is now a money making scheme. I was in a very upmarket place in NYC a few years back and had the honour of meeting someone who was properly in the trade. First time I went into the loo, it was a simple case of 'Would sir like any assistance' and when I replied I got a very polite reply of 'Not a problem sir, let me know if you do' and that was it, nothing more, no stopping access to the sinks or anything. A bit later in the evening I was somewhat more chatty (read intoxicated slightly), and ended up having a conversation with the bloke for about 10 minutes. Some of the information was actually very interesting, firstly he wasn't just some random bloke off the street, he was an experienced concerge who had retired and actually enjoyed this job on a saturday night. Little things impressed me, such as the range of aftershaves he had (which were his and not the restaurants), he also knew the type of smell and the skin that it suited. He personally ensured that the toilets were always clean, and that the linen was always fresh and warm. This was literally 'some bloke in the bogs', but for him it was all about customer service and making sure the gentleman that walked out of his area were happy. And yes he made around $500 a night at about $5 per person and you know what he deserved it. Sadly though I do know what people mean about the nightclubs, lets be honest they smell of urine and you have about 20 blokes stood at a trough mostly drunk...I'd want to get danger pay personally.

mr keef Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 If someone was like that mate then thats excellent,and i have seen an oldish fella in a hotel bar that used to be exacly like that..but now its just a scam...toilete is a mess...stinks...there is no loo roll and no hand towels...so basically after you wash your hands even if you say no to the guy trying to put soap on them for you...you still have to ask him for a paper towel to dry them..and he wants paid for that lol...ohh yea and newcastle must have an electrical problem on friday and saterday nights because the hand dryers never seem to work;) The problem is, it has changed from being an offered upmarket service to something that is now a money making scheme.

SupraAyf Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 he rekins the bog fairy That name made me chuckle. I have to admit but 300 quid a night sounds like a good deal to me. I don't like the idea of lurking in the male toilets though so someone will have to watch my back:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Some of you guys need to grow a pair. So what if somebody is lurking in the toilet attempting to make you feel guilty in to giving him money. Walk passed him wash your hands and leave. If he is hoarding the bog roll curl one out in the sink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Our guy in the local Weatherspoons sings.. "FRESSSHENNNN UP FORR THE PUNNNANNNIIIIIII" Funny at first but every week is a bit much. yeah I heard this one. It must be in their manifesto. As has been said, they've been around the London area for a few years now. I personally found a quick chat to the guy and saying that I'm here all evening, so I'll sort you out later works nicely. You're not going to pay £1 every time you pee. Whether or not during my last visit I pay the man is of course another question. Perhaps it's a British thing feeling obliged to pay or a bit guilty if you don't. Nice LBM, and yeah, I think its very British, to be uneasy about it. Actually they don't bother me too much, the guy actually seems to enjoy his job, singing and stuff. I think its probably better than having no one there at all. It feels a bit safer in a way. Different story if he was aggressively asking though. I think the uncomfortableness comes from the conflict of feeling for the guy and wanting to tip him, and the resentment of feeling you have to pay to pee. bog fairy Classic terminology. Heaven knows what the farmers and rugby lads would make of someone lurking in the gents wanting money for "spraying" them hahahaha If he is hoarding the bog roll curl one out in the sink to curl, verb, to poo? Amused. As a former toliet attendant, I think its time someone stood up for them, and recognised what they did is a valuable job, and contributes to a pleasant fun environment. If you feel uneasy at the attendant being there, maybe its more about you than the attendant. Like some one said, they could be your laywer in a few years time. Yes they are making a lot of money a night, but its a pretty sh*t job. And no, I'm not taking the p*ss. In these day of non-smoking a parfumerie is much needed in clubs anyway. If you go to a club, be prepared to spend money (been said before I know), and if you don't just do what you got to do and leave. Be damned if I'm going to defecate there though.
