Further to my post of a couple of weeks ago bemoaning the generally rather
fittings usually connecting loo seats with the pan, and wondering if there
was any alternative design - I've now discovered there is - in B & Q of
all places.

Having stood on my previous cheap white lid to do a job on the extractor
fan and fortuitously broken it (the seat not the fan), I have, for the
grand sum of £6.98 (less 10% geriatric discount) purchased a wooden "three
piece" loo seat, with a completely different, very logically designed
fitting that is very easy to install and looks very unlikely to start
slipping, coming loose or whatever. I won't even begin to explain it in
words. The picture doesn't really help either:

but the "third piece" at the back of the seat covers, and is screwed on
to, a sturdy plastic block that is in turn attached to the pan. I hope it
works, but for £6.20 you can't really go wrong!

Tell me more about geriatric discount!
