Rosa Hoffmann
"Auntie Rosa", 82 years

Toilet lady at the
Top Ten Club,
January 1982

 

 

 


»The young people who come down here to me call me Mama or Auntie Rosa. And if anyone tells me his troubles and I can help, then I’m more than happy to. But if someone makes a mess in the toilets, I sometimes tell them off: You clean up your mess! I say – in that tone of voice – That’s all germs, that is! Then they get cheeky and I say: Clean that up or I’ll take the scrubbing brush to you!«
