"If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie!". Right, that does annoy me. Not the wet seat (OK, that does too) but more the rhyme. I'm a copywriter and my job is to pursue the highest standards of written English.

I'm a father. She's 6 now. She wasn't always though. I was a stay at home Dad with an 11 week old baby. My wife was out of the house for 12 hours each day.

As always I like to start these open ramblings about the washroom services industry with a little trip back in time.

Well, this month we’ve cornered one of the ever moving Zenith Washroom Solutions washroom services operatives to find out a little more about these mythical, ninja-like, people who ghost in and out of your lives silently and discreetly (a touch of poetic licence there!).
