Thanks, all.


I once worked in a building where a toilet block was no longer used and
had just been piled high with "useful junk" and the door locked. After a
while people started noticing a unpleasant smell which despite looking
for deceased rodents etc. got worse over a period of weeks. The smell
was eventually traced to the disused toilet block. The water in the
toilet bowls S bends had evaporated. The near instant short term cure
for the smell was to turn on the water again and flush the loos.
