A couple of days ago outside a site reception I overheard a conversation between warden and member.  The latter had come to purchase bottle of Blue Toilet Fluid but only Elsan Green was on sale...the member did not want the Green and asked if there was anywhere local he could purchase Blue....The warden then went on to explain that in the very near future only Elsan Green will be allowed on club sites.

I wonder if anyone else  has heard this 'rumour'...and how will the policy be policed

It may be that that is all that can be purchased at site "shops" as it seems this club is starting to take over what site shops stock? Gas nextsurprised

I have read on another forum, from someone claiming to be a Club warden that the Club had intended to go over to just green chemicals as part of their biodiversity strategy but they had changed their minds for some reason but I can't remember why? No doubt all will become clear in time? I suppose it depends whether the reason is just selling green chemicals or whether the intention is to only allow green chemicals to be used on Club sites which are two different things?

we use Lidl laundry pods that are green, in colour tongue-out

Are products other than Elsan going to be allowed? 

Will a particular brand of bog roll be promoted too?

Evening

So, It's nothing to do with what chemicals are to be used on site, it's what is for sale in the site shops. The club is encouraging staff who run shops to only supply green chemicals if / when they run out of the usual pink and blue. That's it.

I suppose at the end of the day the consumer will decide?

The site office can sell what it's wants but it's not often, in fact I can't remember when, I last bought toilet chemicals in one.

Ice creams are a different matter of course, now if the start messing about with those...smile

Can't see what the fuss is about. There are several CLs that insist on it being used and we carry some sachets of green around just in case. No big deal. Move along.
