Our old loo was getting past its best so we called our 'little man' who we use for those sort of jobs and he arranged to fit a new loo complete with cistern.
Only took him and a mate a couple of hours to do the work so when I came home from work there it was, all in its white and shiny glory.
So modern compared to our old loo.
Hasn't got half of the whooshing and hissing and gurgling, altogether much quieter.
And all 'environmenal' - seems to use hardly any water at all!
With a slow self closing seat and lid which doesn't go down with a bang.
And in the sleek modern square shape that seems to be the fashion now.
Only one slight problem. That bit of me which I use for sitting upon isn't so much square.....it's round!

However it reminds me of an experience I had in Germany the last time hubby and I visited friends there. One of the friends and I went to the loo and imagine my surprise when , while I was seated the darn thing flushed without me trying to flush it. My friend simply laughed at me as my expression was so funny and my exclamation along with it amused her too. That modern stuff was an experience let me tell you.
