@Fairygirl the type of ‘job’ you do is pertinent to toilet flushing too - we have a duel flush that works well for jobs big or small 😆 Of course, there is always the old ‘if it’s yellow let it mellow’ approach.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Indeed. I have a fairly new one in my shower room [new extension 6 years ago] and it's frankly useless
Toilet design is something that really bothers me. I don't understand how a toilet can be designed badly given how basic the function is but there are so many that aren't fit for purpose. The problem is of course that you don't know how bad it will be until it's fitted and used so returning it is almost impossible.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Saw this post, logged onto my SouthWestWater account (accidentally logged into my old account from our previous house which we moved out of 2 years ago), noticed a £57 credit balance, called SWW, balance paid back into my account today.

Next step is to fix the leaky bath tap (or get it fixed)... that'll save me a few pennies, as I've just found out from a quick Google research session.

Literally an hour after I posted that and the hinge on the toilet lid just snapped when I went to close it It's a metal hinge and it just sheared through.

Our toilet flushes badly (paper staying in, sometimes worse) even if it uses all the water in the tank. Wrong geometry of the bowl or I don't know. Hard to understand how can something as simple as a toilet be designed so badly.
I follow the "if it's yellow" too. I never wash my car .I FILL the dishwasher before it's used. sometimes only twice a week . I make sure the washing machines are filled ( sensibly ) too. I turn the shower on just enough to get the pressure to wash me, not to knock me off my feet. I don't waste it, but , living in the wettest part of the country I use what I need.

I had to do a pre-purchase inspection on a house a while ago now and one of the issues was that the wooden toilet floor was damaged and they suspected the plumbing was leaking. The cistern was a copy of the old fashioned type that was mounted near the ceiling with a pull chain (brand new but made to look olde worlde). When you flushed it the water pressure was so high due to the drop in height that quite a bit of the water ended up spraying around the room even with the lid closed. If you flushed while sat down it would have made a very thorough bidet
