Hello all later arrivals! Squatty Potty - can't see it catching on but maybe toilet manufacturers will have a look at their designs.
Hazel - do you have to have a general anaesthetic to go to the toilet?
My Gran and Grandad in Gateshead had an outside toilet - cut up newspapers on a nail. I far preferred going there as a child than using the potty.
Got all this mornings tasks done and now Lily's TV is working well. Still gorgeous here but I bet the minute I go out to the string thing it will pour down. In Australia we used an outside composting loo when we went 'bush' - visitng my sis-in-law's brother and family. They are the ones who live in the straw house. Fascinating place and strangely the outside loo was very pleasant to use.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Has as anyone been to Bolton Castle? I went with my cousin years ago .There were Medieval loos on all floors . Very posh for those days . If anyone needed the loo they would have been safer going to the top floor of the castle .You shimmied down a narrow passageway,at the end there was a a plank with a hole in set on top of an earthenware bowl.So far so good . But if you looked down into the bowl the hole at the bottom went on forever . All the loos were in the same position on all floors . Unfortunately there was no piping. So what ever was in the loo dropped through every loo on every floor to a midden at the bottom of the castle. Woe betide anyone using the loo below someone using the loo on a floor above . I wonder if that’s why people started whistling while at the loo ?
I remember on one of my French holidays with the gang, we had gone out for the day and ended up in a gorgeous little village. I was desperate for the toilet and we eventually found one - just the whole in the ground jobby. It only had half a door! Could I 'go'? Could I 'eck. Friends outside making water noises to encourage me. Then a flipping wasp flew in through the open top half of the door and me - being allergic - soon completed the task and just as well as a water bowser lorry drove up to the toilet and I got out just before hosed it all down with a high pressure hose. I was very relieved! See what I did there?

Changing the subject......................been to big town this morning and it was heaving, I repeat, heaving with teenagers. Don't they go to school anymore?
Have been to police station today. Guy who lives in the same building as me pointed a camera at our front door cause he has drama with our neighbour (who is fairly innocent). Police told him to move it so it's now pointing at the stairs. I'm not happy with that either, it's private property! Awaiting call back from policeman later.
