We wouldn't eat our own meal in the toilet but we would force someone to feed a baby in there...

It amazes me that people are disgusted by mothers breastfeeding. There is nothing disgusting about it. It's perfectly natural human behaviour but oddly somehow it has become almost on a par with pornography in this country. We are a weird lot aren't we?

Garbage disposals are not very common here and it's only the rural areas that have septic tanks. Us townies' waste goes into the main sewerage system.

My Grandad never used to throw anything away either - it all went to the pigs and chickens. Unfortunately we can't keep pigs and chickens in terraced houses. Maybe that town centre farm isn't a bad idea after all - except I think there's some rule now about not giving left over food to pigs and chickens.
