I don’t know.

But Mercun ones are always mahoosive.

Mercun plumbing doesn't cope too well though; and the flush always seems really weak.

Rich, I put soft close toilet seats on each of the loos in our house. Now I often slam other people's loo seats down because I'm so used to them

ISTR that it is because of the water saving limitation to the tank size. Someone told me that they drive to Canada to buy toilets.

Cistern capacities reduce every decade. Eventually we’ll be flushing with 300 ml

I overcame the small cistern by fitting a different flush mechanism and adjusted the water level as high as possible.

We had the same regret though, the Victorian type hung on the wall high up are the absolute best and if this dies again is what I’ll be fitting.

Totally with you on that - and one of those long chains to flush with - it gives a sense of occasion.

Would it be fair to say, Zed, that you're not flush with enthusiasm for this thread?

[Rich B]

It’s definitely gone down the pan.

[Beany]

This whole thread is full of shit. I think you're all taking the piss.

Make sure it’s in a room that is about -5C to complete the experience.

If you don't like it you can always get on Armitage Shanks's pony.

It's a whole different reason to be moaning.

There's a Mercun plumb in the White House currently and you're right, he's not coping well at all.

We have one with and one without - keeps everyone guessing, including us at times

We started like that when we bought this house and one loo had no seat at all. I quickly realised you have to go all in at home. But it doesn’t help your muscle memory when out

[Mito Man]

My soft close toilet seat no longer closes fully by itself, necessitating a further push near the end of its travel to close it fully
Actually it’s been like that for at least 2 years but it’s one of those things you never change till it breaks...

It’s surprisingly difficult to get a toilet seat which perfectly fits the toilet, it’s a pain.

Buy a new bog with matching seat. Piss easy.

Is it just me, or are modern toilets getting smaller? To reduce the amount of water required per flush I guess? The missus had her bathroom done not long ago and the turd aperture is miniscule, a stark contrast to some of the high capacity crap hoppers in the older (1960s built) part of work. It's a false economy if you ask me, as I often end up flushing Mrs Newt's bog two or three times to clear persistent pebbledash that would have just gone into the water in a bigger loo.

The answer is yes. Old cisterns were 9 litres, modern ones are required by E.U legislation to be 6 litre maximum with a 4 litre half flush. The smaller aperture in the pan is designed to take advantage of the smaller volume- when they introduced 6 litre cisterns onto pans designed for 9 litres they didn’t flush anything away
