The toilet

[ban-all-sheds]

I was on holiday once with a bunch of friends, touring France, and one of the others fell in love with those toilets, and seriously wanted one in his house.

We actually got as far as going to a French builder's merchants to see about buying one, but once we saw one not installed, and how big and heavy it was, and contemplated trying to get it on the roofrack of a Ford Escort, his plans were scuppered.

I lost track of him not long afterward, and I often wonder if he did it.

Not sure it would have added value to his house...

i will say this...if you happen to be plagued with bouts of constipation....chances are it is because you have 'trained' your bowels with bad habits. the longer you sit....you are in essence telling your brain that -that is normal....and with most things, give an inch,,,take a mile. get in, get out...done. stay healthy

Very True and practical too, not that long ago @ my Grans.it was outside and freezing cold with pages from "The Watchtower" hung on a nail.........OK so it was 40 yrs ago

Personally, I will never understand the male thing about having to read/do something on the loo - apart from the obvious!

I go in, do what I need to do. Use loo roll and wet wipes (because I like to be clean). Pull flush, wash and dry hands. Spray air freshener if needed and then leave.

Medical advice states that you shouldn't force anything but let nature take it's course and the suggestion that you should sit there for at least ten minutes requires the need for reading material unless you have exciting wallpaper or are a graffitee artist.
