Hi StockJockey
I really do understand where you are coming from.
We genuinely always do as the Greeks do, and have for the last 26 years, regarding toilets.
I put the Toilets post in originally to try to prevent some of the blockages, because people just don't understand that a 4" pipe won't carry the waste if stuffed with paper. Kids especially will chuck it down and flush - some are just too embarrassed - never having done this before.
However - I tried to do the post with some with humour as it works - people that read & laugh are more likely to think about the actual consequences with a humourous picture in their minds.
Lets face it - Notices blunt and to the point just don't work with some of the Public.
I know, because I am a people person & work in a customer service industry, an industry where you can actually acheive great things every day by working through other people to achieve the goals!
The tourist industry is also a people business, in fact one of my colleagues sitting next to me as I write this was a 4* London Hotel Manager, until 3 years ago, and he (like I do), understands the difficulty in balancing customer service with being "direct" to someone.
We all know customers are not always right - fact!
But what I was trying to say was - your posts may be a touch too blunt for home consumption, - (read back through them).
So my hope is that you understand my point as well, and that it's nice to lighten up a touch making the post more friendly.
You are in a unique position being English and working there, you can do so much good and contribute to the Forum greatly,
with up to date information and help for those who ask - - just give it a thought -
also Linda & I would like to say hello when I go there again in Sept, as I am sure you really are the nice guy you say!
I'll even buy you a beer! LOL
