Following on from the ' Frenchies pissing in the wind' thread that got me thinking, culminating in me making a startling observation on my travels around different workplaces this week... Todays shithouses just cannot cope! In days gone by, a proper bog would have a large splashdown area thus minimising pan stripeage & have a cistern holding a goodly amount of water, The best ones would have a cistern at eye level or higher with a chain on the side which really had some waterflow 'oomph'. More often than not, having crap was flush and go affair requiring no other bowl cleaning actions! Now talking about flushing, I know it is all about saving water nowadays, but if you have to flush the bloody thing three or four times it really defeats the object of the exercise, not to mention the time wasted waiting for the bloody thing to fill back up with water! Todays trendy designs also have a poor distribution of water around the pan which means more brushing. On an old Armitage Shanks bog, no matter how large a flock of starlings you unleashed, they were washed away, stripeage was minimal. I think toilet design was probably handed over to hairy, eco-friendly women on or around the early nineties, when DIY became 'trendy' and places like MFI / B&Q and the likes started sprouting up, making blokes 'chilled out weekends messing on his boat' and 'weekends in the pub on the piss, watching footy, playing darts & fighting' a thing of the past, giving way to painting, decorating & fitting trendy but inefficient new bathrooms!👎 Obviously the EU must shoulder some of the blame for this, as they are to blame for all our current woes, but when they are finally kicked into touch, we will be able to sort out our own shit once again! I for one cannot wait! Whats your thoughts on new vs old crappers or indeed eco warriors? An old bog yesterday!

I agree. I fitted a new lavatory when I redid our (house) bathroom and the flush was pathetic, even the one for “big jobbies” (its dual flush of course) and I had to spend some time adjusting it to try to maximise the water output. Even so, we normally have to flush more than once which defeats the object.
I suppose if you live in the sarfeast such things are important as there is probably a limit to how many bodies your drinking water can pass through and still be vaguely drinkable in London. But here is Scotland we don’t have a shortage of water and in Aberdeen the only body our drinking water has passed through is the Queen’s (when she is in residence at Balmoral) which is fine and probably why it’s slightly blue.
As usual, due to the rats all crowding into the sarfeast, and sarfeast-centric policies that only know about the sarfeast and don’t realise there is life north of Watford, the rest of us with abundant water have to suffer from stupid regulations.

Top quality rant. Excellent reasoning. Worse than the stupid rationed water flushes are those little push button flushes that break every five minutes. Bring back the proper cistern with a proper chain. But can we keep the soft loo paper please Rog

If you'd had yours pushed back uphill for the last week, you'd be launching a Bismarck too.

Otherwise your arse would shut with a bang.

The title of this thread needs amending to “Bog not up to the Jobbie”

Didn't foxy drop a big one and crack the bottom of his cassette? I'm sure I recall something a few months back.

The humour here is rather lavatorial at times.

The assette is usually the bit at the bottom of the device which means in order to "crack' it one would have left open the slider allowing the unit to operate on a direct "dump through" principle. This is not the usual modus operandi of a cassette toilet. I believe what you are describing is toweringly improbable.

This is not the usual modus operandi of a cassette toilet. I believe what you are describing is toweringly improbable. You are talking crap. (perhaps our crap expert should join in?) If you don't open the door the offending item curls and builds up vertically, blocking your orifice. Also, if it drops through the hole it gets immersed in scented fluid and doesn't stink. (mine doesn't stink anyway, I have Royal genes) I suppose, with your partner being continental, you have got into the habit of inspecting your offerings minutely, so shutting the door aids this as it rests in the pan, like the shelf on Dutch toilets. Do you take measurements and record them? Everyone I know opens the door. Foxy's bog did have a cracked bottom, what else could have broken it?
