A few years ago, when my sister was getting married, she asked me to organise the event. Mark Attwood I was on top of everything, friends and family had been invited, I had sorted out a beautiful marquee and I knew the food was going to be exquisite.
I was getting ready on the day of the wedding when I got a phonecall to say that there was a slight hitch. There was nowhere for the guests to go to the loo. mark attwood The plan was to use the toilets in the house where the marquee was going to go, however, the water supply had been cut off by the council inexplicably. So I had 150 guests arriving in 5 hours and no toilet! I refused to tell my sister, she had enough on her plate. I was running round everywhere, trying to come up with a solution. A telephone directory was handed to me by my dad who told me to look under toilet hire. Thank God for my dad, I had no idea that there were companies out there who made a living from toilet hire. I frantically rang the numbers in the phonebook and at last found one that could bring round a few units to the wedding address that day. I gave them all the details, told them to deliver four toilets and Dad paid for it (thanks Dad!) – it was a piece of cake. The toilet hire truck arrived within two hours, and after the driver had a good old laugh at my predicament, he placed them just where I wanted them. I could’ve kissed him! Thank goodness that the rest of the day ran flawlessly, everyone had a great time and my sister said it was the best day of her life. mark attwood And what with all the champagne my Dad had ordered in, that toilet hire came in very useful! My sister never found out about the toilet hire incident, but I will be eternally grateful for that toilet hire company for saving the day!
