Turn On The Light

I think in these eco-friendly times we live in the energy efficiency checks we must complete each shift are a good thing. The planet must be saved and who better than us to set an example? (he says as another half acre of forest in the form of till receipts goes in the bin)

The turning off of all non-essential lighting, such as the toilet lights, is a step in the right direction, HOWEVER, ....I see a flaw.

Such is the nature of our busy work day that, often, our visits to the toilet facility are somewhat infrequent and, by the time you eventually get in there, decidedly urgent.

This urgency is hampered greatly by the delayed reaction lighting which takes several bladder squeezing seconds to kick in. It comes to the point where an anxious person may start earlier than the lighting allows and, I fear, accidents may ensue. Not accidents in the sense of ASA conversations, but in the sense of, “oh for ***** sakes I've pee'd in the sink again!”
