MessageI sure hope the clown that approved that, is
no longer an employee at Virgin Atlantic!
BTW, if you really have to go for a pee, the
best place is SPL. They have/had a few
basic white urinals with a fly painted on it.
Nobody ever pee'd on the floor - you just
aimed at that darned fly....and the floor
was always dry.
