| 1476040 | 2021-04-05 04:37:00 | All this talk about toilets reminded me of my Nana who lived in Petone (Wellington) in the 1950s. Originally she had an outside loo - in her generation you would never have the toilet inside the house. But she was talked into getting an inside loo, but it was never really inside the house - just inside. She had a corridor built leading off the bathroom and the toilet was at the end of the corridor.:waughh: | Roscoe (6288) | ||

| 1476042 | 2021-04-05 07:19:00 | Yes, BM. I remember that and wonder why the cistern does not need to be that high nowadays? And I still say, "Pull the chain.";) |

All this talk about toilets reminded me of my Nana who lived in Petone (Wellington) in the 1950s. Originally she had an outside loo Husband grew up in a small 2 room shack in the wops in King Country. It had a long drop outside, the old newspaper on a nail... The animal poo was stored in a large container too, to be spread on crops later, when he was about 4 he climbed up and stirred it with a stick,, something they were forbidden to do...ad being small, he leaned too far and fell in...\Lucky his granddad happened by and heard the panicked splashing and rescued him. Imagine drowning in ****... |

| 1476044 | 2021-04-05 09:13:00 | Yes, BM. I remember that and wonder why the cistern does not need to be that high nowadays? It was a dietary problem problem Roscoe and the engineering division had to deal with it. ;) Bloody “Floaters”. :) |
