Can you imagine life without a toilet?
Regardless of recent life changing modern inventions that we all can’t bear to be without – the internet, cars and mediocre blogs like this, to name but three – the toilet is the one thing that makes the basic necessities of life far more comfortable and hygienic than without it.
Actually, central heating is quite good, come to think of it. And shoes. Medicine is another great invention for life, as is a cup of tea. There are many great life enhancements that have been discovered or invented down the years, but the toilet has to rank as the greatest of them all.
However, I think I have to qualify the word ‘toilet’ by explaining that it refers to the classic sit down version with a seat and lid and not one of those primitive hole-in-the-floor squat toilets that can be found in certain places in Europe. With a horrible squat toilet, how can people be expected to read the paper or stalk people on Facebook in comfort?
