Notwithstanding. Our office toilet is pathetic. Open office. Little toilet in the corner. Flush can be heard across entire office. Walk of shame having just submitted a quadruple flusher.
That's annoyed me far more than it should.

You went for the 4th flush? Schoolboy error, friend.tter , cannot handle a big one , and it was BIG ! Four flushes and Bang it wasn't gone .

I hope it at least has a curtain for some privacy 
I'm not one for the usual rose tinted specs culture we have in this country, but OP is right. Modern bogs have the same turd shifting ability that a hosepipe has to dislodge a beached oceanliner.
The worst ones are where the water swirls in the bowl and you get to see your efforts 'surf' on the top and go precisely nowhere.

This reminds me of the two trapper toilet at my first job in that there London. I went to make my morning ablutions, to be confronted by what I can only describe as a dead foal, bobbing a full six inches out of the water. The miscreant who birthed that leviathan was never identified, but I suspect needed surgery afterwards. I felt sorry for the facilities management team who had to deal with it.

I of course blame the EU for this (issueing some Red Dwarf Space Corps type directive about toilets, probably) but soon we will be able to sort out our own s**t once again. I cannot wait.
Blaming women and the EU without any evidence whatsoever. You sound pleasant.t properly and probably needs a change in diet.In reality, OP probably needs to sit up straight when pooing so he can hit the water and maybe get a kickbar/foot stand installed (you poo easiest when you're at 90°, so putting your feet up helps you make the best position to poo, hunching over the porcelain is terrible for you). Maybe cut down on the pies and sausages too, eat more greens and fibre.

ts you get. Love a good jumbo st, me. An assault on the senses.My toilet at home is crap (pun) it won't even take my mrs' turds, never mind my king kong fingers. I tend to go at work daily, and the bogs there are decent and seem to take whatever monstrosity you throw at them in their stride, and we have some real 'characters' working with us, I've yet to see one blocked.
If caught short at home and I can sense it's going to be 'eventful', I'll 'pinch' a cable at regular intervals and courtesy flush as I go.
Drink more water and eat more fruit chaps.

king kong fingers - love these metaphors. PH at its best. Will struggle to better that, but will try.If caught short at home and I can sense it's going to be 'eventful', I'll 'pinch' a cable at regular intervals and courtesy flush as I go.

Have to agree with many of you; we had a new toilet installed about 5 years ago, before hand we never had a blocked toilet, now it gets blocked at least every couple of weeks, I don't think it is the flush as plenty of water goes into the loo when flushed, I can only assume that the pipe on the new toilet is narrower than the pipe on the old one or the angle of the u-bend is tighter.

This clearly isnt your first time on PH but, come on, you know we're all powerfully-built company directors here don't you? Producers of huge turds which need n+1* flushes.*n being the acceptable maximum number of flushes mere mortals use
