Oh Aye lad, proper posh. Got a square, ivory seat too, with gold handle.
Don't you ever wonder though what people did centuries ago with their ablutions, etc ? Talking middle ages, etc., even Edwardian probably, particularly in towns. We hear fun remarks about '****-pots' being emptied out of windows, but where did they go and were any containers just emptied in the rivers and streams ?
When you were out and about and caught short, did they do it there and then ? Or did they have any sort of public holes in the ground ?
At Skipton Castle is a toilet (seat with a hole really) and this went straight down the drop into the river ... yuk ! Think was probably only for the Lord of the Manor.
Hope ya' not eating your lunch.
