I'm Just a bit worried that all these people who can't wipe their own arses properly are in charge of boats. I agree. Having a shit whilst steering a boat can be very dangerous.

Why not just dump your Elsan in the Cut at night? That's what we do. As you're driving the rush of the water helps swill it out marvellously!

It's amazing how conservative a lot of boaters are, especially when it comes to toilet habits. The things that I like about compost loos is that I don't have to arrange my schedule around visiting elsans and its doing something productive with your shit. Oh by the way they don't smell when you seperate the solids from the liquids. I'd read that they dont compost when the liquids arent separated but not about the smell. Kris, your shitter is a farce. You have to chuck buckets of shit in an elsan unless you have a continuously cruising allotment on a raft that you tow or are just chucking it in the cut or similar. Therefore I say again, you are a twat.

Nightsoil was a 'popular' load back in the day on boats travelling out of cities. Im not sure how long it was allowed to compost before it was shovelled out onto fields and whatnot though.
