Didn't the ancient Romans have public toilets? What I've seen in
pictures looked like a row of openings over a trough of running water
to carry the waste away. Jennings got folks away from outhouses and
chamber pots with his flush toilet. I grew up part of my life in a rural
area so I've seen my share of outhouses and chamber pots. :-)

Yep. There are a few remaining over here. (Not in use before you ask).
They used to wipe their arses with the toilet brush too. They were
real men.

Were it a wire brush there laddie? Real men clean their arse with a wire
brush! :-)

Perhaps harry *has* to.
