I can't wait for the poll to close later this evening, I hope to be in the land of nod by then so here is the website.

The top five most germ-contaminated spots were (in order):

1. Phone
2. Desktop
3. Water fountain handle
4. Microwave door handle
5. Keyboard

CONCLUSIONS
- In offices, common areas that are cleaned and disinfected every day have fewer germs and bacteria than most desks. (On average, the area where you rest your hand on the desk has 10,000,000 bacteria.)

- Using disinfecting wipes can reduce the number of germs and bacteria on office surfaces by up to 99.9 percent.

- The average desktop has more bacteria than any surface tested in the bathroom. Toilet seats and photocopier surfaces were the least contaminated sites sampled in all offices.

Congrats to all those who opted for the loo seats - so why do I use tissue to lift the seat of a strange loo?
