I'm miserable and grumpy 'cos these boards are no fun anymore - even Uggers is leaving! - as soon as anyone posts anything interesting the board police swoop down and hit the request review button.

Plus, I have just spent a whole week with my OH - between Christmas and New Year and he is not a Christmas person - and neither am I - and all those "Happy Christmas Let's Be Lovely to Each Other" threads were doing my head in !!!!!!

Shall I go on?

I want a bit of fun! I need a giggle or a laugh - is that too much to ask?

You've got a flushing loo!!!!!! How powsh are you LOL

Actually, so have I, but in my youth I have sat on many a bucket that masqueraded as a loo.
Well do I remember the shed outside our caravan in Lossiemouth, scotland. The cut newspaper to wipe the bum with, and the wish not to stay out there too long as the hornets in their nest in the eaves started getting 'frisky'
I was up there in the winter of 1962 - when we eventually managed to get out of our snowed in caravan (caravan doors open outwards), we rushed to the 'dunny' only to find it had frozen solid!!!

Then again in Shetland. for some reason there was a pipe set in it, which afforded some ventilation, but also allowed a howling wind around the nether regions. Many a conversation I had with the landlady, me sitting in concentration, she tending to her chickens kept in upturned boats behind the loo.
At certain times of the year the ram became far too interested in the (literally) smallest room. You could be sat there minding your own business, when he would head butt the door, exposing the innocent to not only the wrath of a frustrated ram, but the view of the people on the opposite island!!!

However, it was on one trip to the bog hole that I saw my first Northern lights.

As for emptying it - well this meant carrying it to the edge of the sea, climbing down a 4 ft 'mini cliff', then pulling the bucket over one's head to deposit the contents into the sea!!!

Mau - of course there's a queue - it's very select you know and it costs 20p a shot!

Shelly - you are lowering the tone! I know that's difficult on a thread like this but you're managing very well!!

Shelly - bit dubious about the quality of the paper on offer ... is it readable or usable? LOL

Mau - I live with a chap who can do Tommy Cooper impersonations - he makes me laugh every day - except at Christmas when he goes all grumpy! I expect when the weather improves my mood will improve - might change my name back to normal then.

Shelly - will there be enough to go round? Some of the people on my route are very "large". Won't they use more paper?

The caravan was an upgrade from our previous 'home' - a converted double decker bus - still in Scotland!!! Blame my parents!!

*the youth of today don't know they're born etc LOL*

Lived in a tent for 6 months in Shetland.
There were toilets, but at 4 in the morning who wants to trudge 200 yards.
If I occasionally (after a few bevvies) needed to go in the wee small hours, I would just squat a few yards from the tent.....................


There are a lot of sheep in Shetland, and on more than one occasion I was head butted by some grouchy sheep or other whilst in relieving squatting position. I've only just realised there are many women who are unable to achieve this position without dampening their trousers!!!

Also used to pee in the river when I was an ag lab - no toilets for a mile then!!!

I did learn something useful with the dunny in Shetland.
I used to finish the emptying out process by putting Jeyes fluid and boiling water in the bucket. Sitting on the steam from this is a fantastic cure for constipation - something that is unavoidable when there is the risk of the landlady striking up a conversation, or the telltale clomp of Reggie the Randy Ram heading for your door!!

Maggie - you have to write all this up - it's brilliant.

I bet there's a market for this ...

But even if it only ends up in "your part" of the family history your gr grandchildren will love you for it!

Shelly - you can't flush kitchen roll as it blocks the drain - never use that!!! Worse thing.

The "larger people" will just have to be very tidy and manage with the iddy biddy bit of toilet paper - just so long as it's a resonably quality I'm sure they'll cope.
