Yes, but I die a little inside whenever a tradesman asks if he can use my lavatory. I know that the working classes - being little better than chimps - can't be trusted to behave hygienically when performing their bodily functions and half expect to go in there afterwards to find excrement smeared all over the walls.Quote:

Shítting really is a great leveller, isn't it.
You see, I'd have hated that. I'd have had to say yes out of conditioned politeness, but I'd never have been able to forgive him.Quote:

Anyway, if his flush had broken why didn't he just use buckets of water to flush?
I must admit, so would I. And a good point about the buckets.Quote:

Oh I was not happy, but it did serve to end the frostiness between us. We even chatted about the footy the other day.Quote:
