I am fed up with the UK type toilet and would much prefer the German

plumber to install?




Not a clue, sorry. I've been looking for one for a couple of years, as
a friend wants one installed. No luck so far. Several "bathroom stores"
have given various lies along the lines of "they're illegal", "they
won't fit the pipes" and (best of all) "you can't have one of those because of EU rules".



I know one person who had one installed. They bought it whilst visiting
family in Germany and drove it back. Maybe you can find a reasonable
price for pallet shipping? That's quite a sensible business these days.



In other toilet-related shopping, I'd like to get a Japanese cistern for
my outside toilet, one of those with a washbasin built in. Any ideas?


There is this one, but it's not cheap.

There must be a less expensive DIY solution.

See my previous reply. ;-)
