Not only guests. In the old days of bucket and chuck my mum, in a rush to go, handed the bucket part newly chaged with water/blue simply poured the contents from bucket into the posh outer bucket disguising container which was not leak proof. She got the hump as she still couldn't go - we got to clean up the mess - diving around her as mouse-like blue trickles dived everywhere with the boats rocking. We were in Cowley lock at the time - happy days.
