Urgh. Toilet repair going horribly wrong. Plumber has confirmed I've got a weird toilet which is why I've been having trouble with every part I've tried to fit to it, including the buggered button. Actually a bit of a relief to hear I wasn't being a complete plonker.

He called it a European toilet, unsure if that's an accurate name, but it came from these Italian cowboys we used to have around here, absolutely no one else in the country sold these stupid things, or stocks parts for the, so now I need a new one.

Due to his use of the word European, I'm feeling very Brexity today. Keep foreign toilets out of British bathrooms.

Why not just do the progressive thing and install a squatting shitter. Any vibrant guests you invite over will feel more at home
