Before the show many waited sitting on the sticky floor and a few stayed there all evening.

The various floating-matter particulates had all ended up getting stuck to the walls or settling on the sticky floor.

Sticky floors and gummy hands and steeplechases over seats; shouts, whistles, catcalls and cheers to raise the roof - real audience participation.

We had wrestled with nappies on the sticky floors of dark broom cupboards — how naive of us to imagine there might be changing tables in cafes and restaurants.

The sticky floors have been replaced with sleek stainless-steel furnishing, exposed brickwork, pipes and utilitarian fitness equipment.
