Default Why did drainpipes used to have a box on the wall?

U-bends mean it doesn't matter if every pipe isn't fresh.

He didn't mean fresh in that sense, turds and **** lying in
the sewer past the bend for weeks or months. That doesn't
happen with the rain water and sewer are the one pipe.

If they're past the bend who cares?

Those who have to unblock them.

Blockages are caused by toilet paper, not ****.

Blockages are in fact not caused by toilet paper at all.

Funny how there's so much of it when you clear the pipe.


Only for you fools that are actually stupid enough
to use an entire roll every day for each person.


How much you use depends on your diet actually.


But no diet needs a whole roll a day.

It swells up.


No it doesn't.


Oh for goodness sake, just shove some in a sink of water and watch it.


Done that when I need to use it to apply some water to something
and have it stay wet while what its applied to soaks up the water.

Doesn't swell up.

Now pick up the soggy lump and think how hard that would be to go through
a pipe.


Trivially easily given how easily it comes apart.

A plumber told me Izal didn't have this problem.


There is no problem.


Clearly there is or drain cleaning companies would be out of business.


That problem isnt due to the dunny paper, ****wit.

most obviously with the dunny in the shed etc. The block of flats
I
lived
in before building the house actually had a dunny for the
gardener.

Aren't all Aussie dunnies in the shed?

They never were in the shed when we had dunny
carts collecting the **** and **** that was in tins under
the seat and emptied weekly into the dunny cart.

Great job, eh ?

What about outhouses?

We call those dunnys. Only the yanks have outhouses.

I thought any toilet was a dunny, no matter if it's indoors or
outdoors.

Sure, but we have never had outhouses.

ROTFPMSL!

Yoi're just jealous...


It does look like a bit of a larf.


It can be, particularly when the participants are blotto as they usually
are.
