Toilet bowl water - where has it gone?

While the idea of the dog slurping it up is highly amusing (we have a water bowl in the bathroom to avoid this...), it is more likely due to capillary action and a piece of bog paper.

You can try an experiment in the kitchen sink. Get a pan full of water, and drape a wet dishcloth over one of the walls, so that one end of the dishcloth is at the bottom of the pan, and the other end touching the bottom of the sink. Leave it overnight .... and lo, the pan will be magically empty.

In your bog, a piece of paper has got as far as the ubend and is draped over it. Capillary action pulls the water over the ubend and down the drain. When you flush it, the paper vanishes, and it was clearly caused by magic/your dog/you after a particularly spicy kebab.

It also works if you leave a tap dripping onto a face cloth draped over the edge of a sink for a week. That's enough to ruin an attic bedroom carpet.

Stuck an endoscope down. Direct to drain, doesn't join soil stack that comes down right next to it!!!

The went out this avo to see a UU van and a man poking things down a new hole in our road. He didn't think is was necessarily what they were doing, but he also mentioned the toilet roll mopping thing which sounds plausible, something about that loo and recycled toilet paper, it was never a good flusher, usually needed two or three flushes or a bowl of washing up water through as well, if you have recently tied to Sink the Bismark.

Haven't told wife though. Have instead installed a "rat proof" layer of clingfilm. I await my death..................................

She will pour blue water down your throat as you sleep.

Blocked drain is my guess. Had the same issue on a downstairs toilet in my cloakroom. Lift a manhole and see what you find.
