The Percy Arms

Very frugally run place, The Percy.

A few years back there was a persistent problem with leaking wall-mounted urinals, with attendant puddle-age on the floor. Rather than throw good money in the direction of a plumbing professional, the chosen solution was to soak up the leaks with a flattened cardboard box.

Of course, cardboard doesn't grow on trees and so to preserve this helpful moisture absorber, the cardboard would be placed overnight on a radiator to dry out, ready to go back under the urinals next day.

True story.
