Bear in mind that the nearest w.c. might be a mile above you and an hour's travel away, and going there will be a disciplinary offence costing the rest of the shift's pay and possibly all the week's productivity bonus.
Serious answers in order of preference:
- Plan in advance and don't.
- Conveyor belts take everything out of the mine. Care is needed, or someone else's shovel when they're not looking.
- Find somewhere quiet and out of the way. The rats (or mice, but never both) will deal with it eventually. However, there is a good chance that a fellow worker will unintentionally find that spot as well - this can lead to ill feeling.
There are many reasons why I stopped coal mining and went into teaching. Being able to wash my hands before eating is one of them.
- Plan in advance and don't.
MrE
