School Toilets'!


This advert really makes me laugh, because the boy is so serious. Could this video be his mum's proud moment, which she shows to his first girl friend when he is older? 
When my children were at Comprehensive school, we lived about 5 mins sprint away and my #1 son used to run home to use the toilet in his break. 
As a teacher I often had to say quietly to the year 3 children. if they complained of a tummy pain.. perhaps you need the toilet? 

One school where we had an OFSTED Inspection, when the Key stage 1 girls (5 and 6) were asked what they didn't like about school? The answer was 'The toilets!' What they liked best?... 'Play times!'
As a Senior teacher in two schools, what we were always looking for was a deodorant for the tiles in the boys toilets, as they used to wee on the walls!! Why?? To see who could wee the highest!
The bane of the cleaners and caretakers.
Thank goodness I'm now out of it and retired!

At one school I was at there was a window up high in the boys toilet. The boys used to see who could pee out of the window.

Love it. My daughter was cleaner at an all boy school, she hated cleaning the toilet block.

My Mum was a school cleaner and she said exactly the same thing. I guess boys will be boys!

All I remember about the toilets at school was that horrible 'tracing paper' loo roll 😒

Certainly a different style in TV adverts for toilet paper!

All the best Jan

I went to an all girls school. In summer, spent getting sunburnt, we'd go into the loo and peel the dead skin off each other's backs. No one knew or cared about skin cancer back then.
