so the average computer keyboard is dirtier than the average toilet seat.

that's what a consumer survey tell us, anyway.
'which' magazine, i think, if you're interested.

my keyboard has got a clear plastic base, so i can see the microbes of digestive biscuit, doritos, toast, peanuts and other rubbish i've spilled while composing.
impossible to clean, so why bother?

but no way am i taking a close look at my toilet seat.
there could be ANYTHING on there.

top marks to the researchers for boldly going where no survey has ever been before, and for producing a totally useless piece of information which has at least inspired me to use my keyboard again.

but not the toilet.
