I find this rather annoying as well. I've seen enough modern loos that
don't flush well, either throug lack of evacuation or not washing the bowl
down all the way round to want to see how any prosective new loo does
actually flush.
I believe there is a British Standard turd that makes should be designing
to clear in a single flush.
In the House of Lords, at least a decade ago, they were discussing
the subject and one of the bods asked what tests were performed on
toilets. One of them got up and explained the ball of newspaper and
sawdust tests, which I hope are self-explanatory in this group.
I doubt if anyone in the House of Commons, then and especially now,
would know such details. I have thought much more highly of the
House of Lords compared to the other place ever since.
