Then before that a book from the 1860’s. And I thought the same thing. How on earth when the beautiful lavish clothes are explained did they go to the bathroom. And visiting someone, did you bring your own pot???? I adore the romance of period piece novels but boy it must have smelled just awful.

Who knew I’d be so wrapped up in a blog post about the history of toilets but I couldn’t stop reading and I’m not much of a reader. I’ll definitely be coming back to read more. Thank you

Only visited Hungary once, I’m afraid, only Budapest, by train – a glorious city. – In a park, one lady encouraged us to learn a little Hungarian, so we tried.
Camping in France, a few years ago, we found that the pitch we had been allocated was right next to the pissoir…
