ProDave Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yes it's been a long time coming, but finally I can use the toilet in the static caravan. That's because today was the day I finally connected the last bit of drain piope to connect the house and caravan to the treatment plant.

Tennentslager Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hope you have something to read in there... Save you from constantly inspecting the plumbing. Oh and better than reading the ingredients on shampoo bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToughButterCup Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Someone -forgot who- suggested that I make a site loo cabin out of the shakes that I'm making. So, that's what's happening. Shakes, ...... site loo.... geddit? It'll be good practice for me about the whole process; working out how many shakes per square meter and all that. And it'll be drafty. So that's all good then.

Alternatively, emulate the Romans and just have a bit of foam on the end of a split stick that rested in a bucket of vinegar, rather than use paper.

The Romans made a visit to the toilet a social occasion, they often had several seats in a row in the same toilet, so they could all sit and have a chat. The toilets themselves sometimes had a gulley with running water running along beneath the seat, a bit like a small stream, to flush everything away. They really were remarkably civilised when you consider that we didn't invent the flush toilet until around 1800 or so years later. Presumably they passed the vinegar-soaked sponge-on-a-stick along the line, a bit like passing the port after dinner............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
