reminds me of being in the RN. As the heads (loos) were down a long cold steel corridor, if you had a cabin the basin/urinal was a godsend, unless you shared the cabin with another lazy git like me . Come the morning I used to stifle my laughter as my cabin mate picked his toothbrush out the sink and brushed his teeth. The reverse also applied when I ipicked my brush out of the glass and scrubbed away to see him curlled up on the floor as he had used it to poke his vomit down the plughole earlier in the morning, my mouth tasted so bad anyhow I hadnt noticed.
Basins were known as the night heads (toilets) weren't they
