Happy Global Handwashing Day. To celebrate, I’ll remind you that in the UK “more than 1 in four people have faecal matter on their hands! Britain’s 12M cases of norovirus, gastroenteritis, MRSA, E-Coli and now Swine Flu infections are mainly down to dirty hands. washitoff! (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine).” The report on our filthy hands is here.
Also if you’re in London this evening, I recommend the Golden Poo Awards, taking place at the Prince Charles Cinema. I was asked to make nominations (and missed the deadline, stupidly), but not invited. So if you go, report back.
