Modern toilets cannot cope

[PositronicRay]

I used to have a reccuring nightmare, where I was desperate to go, dashing about the building trying to find a serviceable loo.

Each one got worse and worse, if I ended up at the 1st one, it was now overflowing with effluent.

Not sure where it came from but scout camp had some pretty nasty loos, you'd get a wet bottom so had to kind of hover. If you remember the Santa Pod toilet block in the 70s it gives you some idea.

I remember the portaloos at Enfield Autojumble & Classic show c1993 - left an indelible in my brain (and nose). Desperate for no1, I joined the queue and climbed the steps; On opening the door I only just about remained conscious, the stench was overwhelming! despite the embarrassment I did 180 degrees and almost ran down the steps - even a no1 was impossible. I found another loo in a building a few hundred yards away. It was obvious the next year that peeps were disappearing over the next field where there were some trees, rather than take the chance. After that experience, it's very rare for me to use a portaloo

well that's been an entertaining read thanks to a link from a "bog's are no longer fit for purpose" thread

I used to drive minicabs for GLH in East Finchley and the toilets were old skool outside loos, the stench was incredible... I can understand the bottles of "apple juice" that can be seen in the gutters near where some minicab drivers frequently park up waiting for the next job

So many LOL on this thread; sham it died last year.

Driving a work colleague home 30 miles he got the need to go. I had to find somewhere quick else my car was going to be soiled. An ancient petrol station luckily appeared. I screeched to a halt. He dived in to the toilet on the side (well waddled quickly as his a** cheeks were clenching vice like. Having pebble dashed the place (as it looked like it had never been cleaned it was probably just an additional layer) he found there was no toilet paper. Luckily he had a hankie so ripped that in to strips, then next was his shirt ....

Skids are no issue, if that gets on your nerves you have a monumentally weak disposition, try working in factories, endless blockages, sinks with taps running, gum in the urinals.

I hate work toilets, and am lucky enough to have an overly strong constitution meaning I can always no2 where I want, at home.

But skiddies are part of parcel of work toilets, blimey, some of the things I have seen, fecal matter on floor, seats, in urinals, blood Gilberts all over the walls, paper stuffed into bowls, overflowing, bloody paper, pooey paper, the list is endless.

And yes I have sorted them all out at times

The toilets on my last building site were ridiculous, after lunch the smell would melt your teeth. Worst I saw was a piece of graffiti on an A4 sheet stuck to the wall with ste.

Do they go home and tell their wife what they did at work that day? Animals.

I agree, site blogs tend to be horrendous. Makes you wonder what their homes are like!

Best I’ve seen!

Apparently there has been a breakthrough in the case of the missing gold bog.

It seems that the Police did have something to go on after all.



Back to business, as it has been a few years; I'm now mostly sitting on an Ideal Standard rimless, and it is pretty good.

I remember last year I made a thread asking about how long it takes people to poop and how many wipes as I feel mine takes forever.

The thread got deleted very quickly.

Yet this is allowed.

Interesting :-)

Glad someone else has brought this up, my problem as well. Proper clear up needed in aisle 10. I dreaded a loo visit, especially away from home, as I really needed a shower after.

Currently using Metamucil fibre supplement every night and weirdly I can almost get away with one wipe.

A relief after our recent holiday in Greece and the use the bin not the loo business.

I had to take apart the Tom C the other week due to the amount of stuck bog roll getting caught up in the flexi pipe at the back. Tried one of those water pressure tools and it just ended up making the seal loose on the back. Then I had a trip down memory lane when I took my dad to Bicester to have a go at his tank driving experience. Went to use the bog there and they are proper old fashioned cistern at the top, chain and handle type affair. Took me back to using the toilets at the old community centre when I went to youth club there. One flush and it's like Niagara Falls going off.

At home...
A length of high grade hosepipe should be kept next to the loo brush & holder.
Good for breaking up stubborn ‘jobbies’ or help unblocking the paper... flushed down with a good bucket of water.
Reflush soon afterwards to leave clean & presentable.

There again, ALL toilets should have a bit of hose available.

Tried the hosepipe along with hot water and dish soap. Even tried a drain rod. Worse toilet I've come across? Using my sister's mates toilet when I went there for dinner once. I swear to god it had never been cleaned and I'm very fussy over a clean ceramic throne.

too easy to clog these toilets these days
