The plumber was on a job at Holborn firm Teacher Stern, presumably fixing the urinals. An insider tells RollOnFriday that a number of signs were posted in the loos making it clear that they were closed. But they were ignored by an unknown member of staff who accidentally manged to relieve himself on the unfortunate workman.

 

A source said the plumber complained to a partner about the surprise golden shower and asked for compensation, but was rebuffed.

 

However a spokesman for Teacher Stern denied that the plumber asked for a pay-off.

 

"I'm fine with this!"

"We contacted the plumber in question", said the spokesman, "who confirmed to us that he never asked for (or even spoke to anyone about) compensation for any incident. He was extremely shocked to hear this and said he would never do such a thing".
