Normally I am too impatient to bother drying my hands using a machine, preferring either the back of my jeans or, if available, a wad of paper towels. Then I went to Gatwick airport and discovered the Dyson Airblade. Finally, a hand dryer that works properly! You put your hands in the slot and BOOM! From wet-to-dry in under 12 seconds.
If you would like to know what is more ethical, using a paper towel or a dryer, Leo Hickman debates the answer here.
News just in! (4/7/08): They have an Airblade in the toilets of the Social on Little Portland Street! Another reason to love that venue.

mmm I’m not so sure. I tried it in Glasgow and like you, was an instant fan (ha ha). However, yesterday in Stanstead I managed to put my hand in it wrong and the wetness went up my sleeve. Like a melted ice lolly! There’s definitely a knack. Can’t believe I’m commenting about a dryer on a Friday night…
