Get the angle right makes me bigger, or twice as handsome.

Did manage to get 3 'images', but just made a mess.

Anyway . You really shouldn’t be taking photos in men’s toilets . You can get into trouble for that .

Two things.

It was the disabled toilet, I feel qualified to use that, not all disabilities are visible.

Second thing, there are 'Keep your Distance' signs up, maybe because Phillip Schofield is staying at his mum's near Newquay.

Fair point . I must admit cramming a few guys in a standard cubicle is tight ; so much more room in the disabled toilets for introductions .

I like it that afterwards we can all dry off under the hand dryer together . Very intimate and rewarding experience.

Have you seen my corns and calluses.

Should be called porn and callusness.

A little rant. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.

 

This particular design of Geberit flush plate uses levers - not buttons. It's round - so it's a button isn't it ? No it's not.

The visual lie is the roundness of the lever. How do I know? One of the two Geberit flush plates we installed broke. So I had to take the flushplate assembly off the wall. The lever is made of a very thin,  springy piece of stainless steel, it's stuck to the back of the so-called button. 

 

In normal use, pressing the 'button' means people press the middle of the circle. So less than half of the potential power of the lever is used - and the resultant water flush weak. With obvious results - or lack of result if you like.

 

The only way to make the flush work as it should is to press and hold the bottom of the lever while the flush takes place.

For the priviledge of being allowed to buy two flush plates, I spent £160. And the ones we bought were the cheapest available at the time.

 

"Oh, yes, they have been known to fail " said the Geberit Tech support guy. And promptly sent me another flush pate assembly of exactly the same design. 

 

One word for it     .....   Shite.

Is this a 'small man' rant, they are called 'incels'' now.

I've got Geberit products which have been installed on clients builds, kids and all, and never once have any of these products failed. And I mean not ONCE.

Poor fitting / installer error is often the culprit.

[ToughButterCup]

And that well understood reliability is what made me buy Gerberit : and the disappointment the deeper. They replaced the failed part within 48 hours.

Not where I was, the smaller button how fallen off, leaving a white lever will a ball on the end, I was too scared to touch it, I saw the mess on the seat rim.

One can never trust anything that bleeds for a week and does not die.
