Mystery

[Jim Hawkins]

Why is it beyond the wit of sanitary engineers world-wide to design a loo seat that doesn't slip and slide around ?

Tighten your nuts?

I have found that using the ones with a bar between the two hinges makes a big difference.

[Jules Richardson]

I always assumed they were supposed to have a bit of play in them, so the hinges don't get so stressed as people reach over for the bog paper etc.

A further mystery is why lady toilet users always stand an unfixed toilet roll on the cistern top.

That is so it is in clear and obvious view of male users, in the hope we'll do something about it.

because of one size fits all. Remove the seat and refit using gobs of silicone around the studs.

Alternatively dont play with yourself on the bog.

If they are anything like my other half, her reason is that the cupboard space that I made in the bathroom for her to store such things is *FULL* - and that's the only place she could put the last bog roll left out of the pack of twelve that she's just bought. That cupboard (built to hide the soil pipe stretching across the bathroom wall) is big enough to hold a damn site more than twelve rolls - but she insists on 'hiding' everything else in there as well sigh!

But after 45 years, I suppose I've just got used to her ways... LOL

Female acquisition will expand to fill every available store and every horizontal surface.

That's why they are called 'birds'

[Owain]

Male acquisition will do that as well, but 'they' don't usually let us.

I'm single, so I can cover the place with junk without complaint, and not even have to dust it.

If I called my wife a 'bird' (especially and old bird) I'd end up losing a rather delicate part of my anatomy that's for sure!!

It's easier to make the oven mitt.

And why must women have the loo roll so that the paper comes down at the back rather than on the side nearest to the "user"? I put the loo roll in the sensible way around and my wife turns it around!

(... or do I just associate with strange women?)

[Steve Walker]

Wooden seats with a single back section rather than two individual hinges don't seem to move around.

Why not easily removable for a good wash. Washing the top is easy - but the underside is harder due to the moulding and the buffers.

FYI, the world of loo seats in French owned Etap and Formule1 Hotels is that they just don't have any! That is, of the liftable sort.

be nice, uz blokes have to aim straight.

BTW, the loo in Formule1 is not 'en suite' to your room, it's shared..

[Jules Richardson]

Yes, but who the heck wipes their bum with one of those?

[Gib Bogle]

I don't think sanitary engineers are involved in the design of loo seats.

[Gib Bogle]

Ah! That annoys me too! It's because men (in general) put function before form, while with women it's the other way around.
