Centre Parcs
My Dad worked on Longleat Centre Parcs, mainly putting up the villas. When they started, as there were only portaloos, up by the office, about 2 miles away from where they were working, most of the builders had a favourite tree in the forest where they'd go for a crap. They got to know each other's stools that well that they could identify someone by the turd.

As they got further on with the job, the villas started to be decorated, and a lot of empty paint tins appeared, so they started crapping in them, then chucking them in the skip.

One day one of the builders was particularly desperate, and had had a slightly dodgy curry the night before, only he couldn't find an empty paint tin, so he opened a fresh one and went in that. He then stirred it in, and put the lid back on. So if you go to Longleat Centre Parcs and you feel your villa is a slightly darker shade of magnolia than others, that's the reason for it.
