They've just told us to send someone out to buy half a dozen buckets so we can fill them up now and use them to flush the toilet with the rest of the day

I mean six buckets ffs that will last about an hour!

Everyone here is just shocked, anyone else in the world would have just said ok we cant work in these conditions but not my boss :thup:

They're dead right. Get on with your job. And if 6 won't be enough buy 12.

I'd argue that it'd more likely only be people in the UK that would refuse.

Why don't you go to the toilet before they shut the water off, then go somewhere for Lunch that has a toilet and then just use that while you're there.

Surely you don't need to go to the toilet that much during the day?

Nah f**k that, they said 6 so we're buying 6 and when we've run out of water an hour later then we'll see what they say then. Although the secretary has only just gone out to buy them and the water's getting turned off in 20 mins.....

Lunch is 1pm so i will have to go 3 hours without going to the toilet followed by another 4 hours after lunch. Which will also mean i wont be able to drink any fluids during the day or even eat any lunch in case nature calls. And ironically enough the female boss (who's in her 50s) normally goes to the toilet about twice an hour

Haha, Rich you chancing weak bladder bastard

Go somewhere else to use the toilet? Unless you work in some firm specialising in hiring incontinent folk then I guess you guys will be fine going next door/down the street, etc....

They have to provide bottled water.

What about toilet facilities?

Oh the tension.

What if she isn't back until 10:30? Don't know how you will be able to cope

Ok our office is going to be without water from 10am today - can work legally keep us here?

Grab a beer, sit back and relax.
