That notice is telling me to".<br /><br />It's the state of the facilities which affects what people do.<br /><br />If the loos are spotlessly clean then you're not going to want to be the first to spoil them. If, on the other hand, they're already grotty, then that doesn't exactly encourage care on the part of the user.<br /><br />It's like litter (possibly). A bad area seems to encourage more detritus.<br /><br />Rant over!Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-19945272193301210992012-02-21T22:26:12.215+00:002012-02-21T22:26:12.215+00:00I like the notice I saw in the Wellington Arms in ...I like the notice I saw in the Wellington Arms in Reading many years ago.
