Olympic toilet cleaning relay
EIGHT THOUSAND toilet cleaners have been employed in preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Each member of staff will be responsible for a specific public restroom in the city and trained in hygiene standards, techniques, Olympic knowledge and English phrases.
Toilets will be inspected weekly and the results of how well they cleaned will be posted online.
It is yet to be decided what type of lavatory will be used at the Olympics, as the Chinese favour squat toilets but Westerners prefer to sit.
