Toilets, snakes and flies
Current World News Comments (0)
British soldiers in southern Iraq have some of the most informative toilets I have ever seen, with signs on the doors of cubicles offering advice on a host of different topics from snake sightings to learning Arabic.
Admittedly, the threat of a snake bite was furthest from my mind when I headed down to Britain’s military base outside Basra; a place better known for its rocket rather than reptile attacks.
So it was with a certain amount of surprise that I read a sign on the door of the ladies’ lavatories at the main headquarters warning of a snake sighting.
