Toilet Seats (in general)

Maybe it's not the fixings after all but the way the seat slips and slides. Perhaps slippery buffers under the seat are the culprit.

My Club has an original Victorian 'throne', complete with cistern etc. The 'art work' is really quite spectacular, although I find it strange something so 'basic' (as in serving a need) should be so ornate. Someone located a specialist to refurb it and bring it back into service several years ago and, while not the main 'facility' it is still in use.

Steptoe and Son.

On one program they realised that if they went round viewing posh houses as prospective purchasers, the neighbours usually paid them off in cash to 'go elsewhere'.

One house had a black bathroom suite. Albert remarked in horror "It's got a black bog !"

There's another classic one where the old man ends up still sitting in the bath (with his hat on) after it falls through the ceiling into the living room below. And another episode where they install (really, really badly) central heating which takes on a life of its own when the boiler fires up. Brilliant old stuff. Still hilarious 50 years on.

Just noticed someone's uploaded it to Youtube! Enjoy:

Interestingly, I have noticed that seats in accessible toilets generally have projections which engage with the outside edge of the bowl to ensure that they can resist sideways forces.

Perhaps we could all benefit from such a design feature, but it would require close matching of seat to pan.

The projections could have elongated screw holes, so they can be adjusted to fit.
