An update on Wembley again. One thing that I forgot to talk about was the hand-dryers in the bathrooms. As everybody picked up upon by The Londonist noted, the dryers are rocket powered. Normally they’re half-hearted affairs that blow out mildly warm air, failing to dry your hands, yet running up the premises’ electricity bill in a double whammy of failure. Not the Wembley ones. As you walk down the concourses, it sounds like some remedial repair work is still going on in the toilet. Then you realise that it’s someone drying their hands.

These things are so powerful that I doubt that small children will actually be able to keep their hands under the machine. You know those videos you see of astronauts or fighter pilots being spun around at highspeed to simulate Mach 5 or whatever? You know how their faces distort under the pressure? Well that’s what happens to your hands while they’re under one of these bad boys.
