I see it.
The thing that stands out is the foul connection - it's flush wit the floor and basically a face mating flange bolted and sealed with a waxed ring. Doesn't sound convincing to me - seems it would be hugely sensitive to mis-positioning of the floor flange or even flex in the floor?...
Yep is a bit like the doughnut between WC and close coupled cistern. Should be OK as long as it can be bolted tight together. The outlet pipe seems quite a small diameter though. I've heard American loos may often have a suction flush, but are prone to blocking. Simon.
My argument here is two fold: 1) That's a freshwater connection so a minor leak isn't too bad; 2) The cistern is free standing so can conform to the right position. Still not convinced...
We have one. In the traditional avocado too.
There's a reason for that. Ours is rubbish.

The woman who diagnoses your health from looking at stool samples

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Frank Erskine saying something like:
A fake 'doctor'.

Let's use her correct medical title, "Gillian Mckeith".
