New domestic toilets - small cistern - WTF

The Germans have been using the dual flush toilets or at least ones where you can interrupt the flow, for ages. It makes sense to just stop the flow after the last log disappears.

I always thought that you needed water to induce the last log down the pipes and into the sewer, stopping the flush at the second the last log disappears from view sounds like asking for trouble.

Ancilliary question:- some bog designs are such that one no longer gets a clean errr bombing run. So one has to give a pre crap flush to ensure a wetted surface and thus no errr skidmarks for want of a better term. Don't they test these things first?

Now I know why I spend eight hours a day reading PH: just waiting for prose such as this to pass across my monitor on occasion

King, if it's lavatory related humour you seek, then there's been no better recent thread on P&P than this:

FWIW, I made what I like to think is a seminal contribution on page 5. And we've got Le Mans coming up in a few weeks, these's always something scatalogically humourous going on there. With a hundred thousand drunken Brits camping in a field for a week, someone's bound to tread in something unusually foul; and hopefully in bare feet.

Well, they certainly don't get ordinary blokes to test them, at least not based on the results. Perhaps they enlist the help of elderly spinsters, fed on a special diet of Shipham's salmon paste sandwiches with the crusts cut off, Madeira cake and lapsang sochong. It's hardly likely to rattle the crossbar is it?



And they possibly get the gay chief designer's Danish boyfriend to test them, and given their penchant for sticking everyday household objects up each others bottoms, I expect, he's likely got a jap's eye like a doughnut. It's the kind of thing arty farty designers do, and fair play if that's what you're into, but it hardly helps the rest of us does it?

I'll just mention, briefly, the horrors of dealing with a manual pumped sea toilet suffering the infliction of a sea monster sized log...... No, I won't, too soon after my lunch. In fact a week from now will be too soon.

It's already too late for those of us who know what you're talking about

Problem can be exacerbated when you know the only toilet available is a manual pumped sea toilet and the psychosomatic effect on your intestines means you go a week without wanting a shit...

Lot to be said for bucket and chuck it really...

Brings back memories of a sailing trip (KSW ref: with the Roslingtons). I managed to smash up my leg quite badly. Being on a boat, that was OK as you can haul yourself around and hop, but it meant I couldn't get back on deck when the boat was heeled over on a tack. Heeled to port, the water in-take for the heads on the starboard was out of the water, so it couldn't be pumped. So stuck in the cabin, filled with the smell of poo, boat pitching and rolling ... I lasted about 10 mins before having to do a huge one legged leap to get up to the heads to puke up a load of weetabix. This didn't improve the smell in the cabin much. Fortunately I managed to sleep after that until we eventually tacked.

Any Zarse in the other thread said:

"never mind whacking off, I reckon you could happily eat your dinner off the floor"

"Shit was plastered absolutely everywhere; all down the outside of the pan and over the floor, up the walls, on the door handle and I think some had even found it's way in being splattered onto the light fitting"

Something I've found when travelling is that humour ALWAYS turn towards the toilet at some stage of the evening. Always.
