Default What Smells Like Hamsters?

In message ,
TheScullster writes
Hi all

I have noticed a few times that our downstairs loo occasionally smells like
a hamsters cage!
I refurbished it during the year and this is not a serious issue but it is
intriguing!
All walls are plain and painted with wipe clean emulsion.
The cistern is boxed in, but I have checked behind the boxing and around the
flush pipe/waste from the pan and there are no signs of leaks.

So can anyone suggest a source for a smell in a bog that is similar to a
(cleanish) hamster cage?
I have never seen a rodent in the place let alone a hamster.

Menfolk missing and not wiping?

WOMEN folk missing, not wiping.

Examine the UNDER side of the loo seat, at the front.


You will be unpleasantly surprised...

I think that they should be made to stand up and learn to aim. We
have to after all.

A simple plastic splashguard attached to the seat would work, except
that no woman wants to destroy the myth that women are clean and
wholesome, and its men who are filthy sluts.

Yes, but we all know it isn't true. Clearly God didn't look at the
Town and Country Planning Act or He wouldn't have put a recreation area
near a sewage outlet.

Surely we choose to as it's more convenient and results in shorter
queues at theatre intervals. The solution would be the SheWee as
previously mentioned - "For your convenience please order your interval
drinks & SheWee at the Bar - Thank-you).
