Did I break it??? :)) Deb

Thought you might like to know that there is an automatic one advertised which goes up as you approach it - it has a sensor. There is also one which glows in the dark for people who don't want to wake their partner by turning light on in middle of night.

One problem with wooden seats is that it's harder to see if they are clean or not. At least with plastic you can see if they need wiping. Rose

Mi Bruvver in law has got a loo seat, its plastic, but has barbed wire in it...........makes you think twice, about sitting on it!! Bob

Joe, lol. No patterns just lots of bubbles on seat and lid. Just more fun to look at when in the bathroom for other reasons! Daisy

ok, haven't laughed so much in ages! Angela - try leaning over the bath instead when you dye your hair !! Sue - thanks for the hint about hinges Daisy - sorry, not 'into' (lol) those ones! Merry - pmsl !!! Daniel - you don't need to tell me about your toilet habits - you stayed here remember !! well, thank you very much people for your input - I will go and have a browse in Homebase for a pine one with chrome fixings and no suspicious looking joins for about £20 !! Maz. XX

Daisy I didnt say they were cold I merely said who has time to look at patterns ...........

and the bubble seat isn't cold at all Joe! Daisy

All this lavatorial tittering reminds me of a comment made many years ago by a spinster head mistress, when the caretaker complained about some of the boys making a mess in the loos, by having competitions to see who hit the spot highest up the wall. She tutted and then said 'Well, what can you expect? if God provided little boys with weapons, we must expect them to use them' School lavatories were never the same again for me, after that! Jay

Dee, Hope the girls were able to keep the place clean while trying to see if they had hit the target !! and what's that about 'little' men - don't the big ones get a toy too ?

Try to get a sprung wooden one, so any men don't leave the darn thing up lol

Jean...I got the idea from an email I was sent showing public toilets in Sweden. Each of the toilet bowls had a bluebottle painted onto the porcelain. Apparently the 'customers' always aimed at the bluebottle (thinking it was real)....and cleaning costs were drastically reduced! Dee x

Go for a pine one. Pine contains a natural anti bacterial agent. (thats why disinfectant often contains pine) I got mine as a free gift with my first order from a catalogue when we first moved here some 18 years ago (tomorrow) Its still going strong. Don't buy one with a join at the front though. My mother's had a couple of those split because (I hope) of too much cleaning moisture. I'd aim for one in the £25 range. (Though I guess you could buy cheaper and keep on renewing)

For Heavens Sake !!! Wooden one is warmer. Anything else who cares ? one is either standing over loo, sitting on the seat - who can see bubbles at times like that ?? ..... well not the bubbles Daisy is talking about are talking about

Dee... what a brilliant idea.... can see you have had the same experiences as me lol. Jean x.

Maz and Jean Put a cork in it!!!!!! The toilet I mean....the little men will have fun trying to sink it...and improve their aim at the same time! Dee x

I p*ss on the wooden loo seats all the time here and they have no problems once I wipe them down. Only joking :-) Mrs L. wipes them down.

Just don't buy cheap (like I did) and keep the receipt (like I didn't!) We got three wooden loo seats all at the same time (cheap and chearful) Two split across the ''seat with the hole in it'' at the front within a few weeks of purchase, making it liable to pinch your a**e as you get up (sit down; the weight opens the split in the seat (was going to say ''crack'' lol!!) and when you get up, if you are not quick, you get a pinch!! The third seat is still fine after 12 years, so probably you get what you pay for and we were lucky only for one out of three! Merry

I bought those fun ones with bubbles in. Figured if I had to spend money on something as boring as loo seats then they may as well be amusing! Daisy
