“Long-drop toilets away from the house were common, with their cut newspaper and lime bucket. A new pit was dug before each summer. Usually it was quite a walk and, at Ardrossan, we were swooped by magpies in the season. Laurie got out his rifle and shot them. The toilet was often near the woodheap and under a pepper tree or a dollacus creeper, with a blue-mauve flower growing over it. Back lanes for toilet bucket removal were more common in the newer country towns. We enjoyed the fun of the night-soil truck running out of control at Naracoorte, down the hill from the Presbyterian church and into the Lutheran minister’s house at the bottom of the hill. We always thought that Presbyterians believed they were better than the rest of us—even their night-soil. Years later, when Gough Whitlam spoke about the ‘effluent society’ and the need to sewer the outer suburbs in the big cities, I knew exactly what he meant.”

🚽💧 Wir spülen unsere Toiletten mit Trinkwasser und ich finde das abnormal, auch wenn es jeder tut!

In Zeiten von Wasserknappheit und Klimawandel sollten wir über nachhaltigere Lösungen nachdenken. 🌍♻️

Kennt ihr Lösungen?

#TravelTip #ToiletTalk If you are NOT constrained by time or mobility concerns, and you need a quiet restroom amid the utter hellscape frenzy of Hartsfield-Jackson 3 days before Xmas, I highly recommend a trip (and it is a HAUL from other concourses) to gate T1.

(4 hour layover, this is the only bright spot. 😝)
