Water conservation

It has been felt for some time that the Yoasties should do something about the downstairs loo. I did not understand why, but it would appear that no one could flush the loo. It was simple; one short flush (pulling softly on the chain) and one long flush (quickly pull chain again once the lever has gone up) easy. Maybe not that easy but seriously not rocket science.

Anyway the plumber came and did some sucking of teeth, scratching of head and tutting. Well the whole lot would have to be replaced our 1955 cistern and loo were no longer being made and so no internal workings.

We now have a new loo and cistern. I hope that this will be easier to flush. Mr Yoastie has brought the old loo to the dump. I am now wondering should we have kept it? It was after all an original feature, if they are no longer being made like this maybe it will be antique one day?

Did you replace it after 52 years? Already?
