Default WC or bidet?

Hi folks

My WC has started behaving oddly. When I flush, the water jet from
around the rim starts climbing back upwards and spills and spatters
around the top of the rim and the toilet seat. Any ideas on what would
cause this?

Thanks

Have you got limescale blocking your passages, or at least the
toilet's? If a flake gets wedged in the system near an exit point for
the water it can cause turbulence in the stream that might cause that
sort of thing.

Scale build up? You should post a video. ;-)

I can assure you there is no limescale in my back passages! But I will
start to explore for blockages elsewhere. Many thanks.

Well, I ran a hose jet back up around the inside of the rim, and -
sorted! Whether a build up or a sudden block, who knows!
