I've had them in the past!

Dea

?? what do you mean ..............

What is that all about Sylvs >>



I was Gins who posted

talking about toilets >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



I think she meant she had to go find one :-D :-D

And You said about people digging up sewers and
"As we are a corner lot, we have 2 port-a-potties placed on the boulevard grass on the side street and HUGE sewer pipes placed on the boulevard grass at the front."

Sounds horrible Sylvs - what is happening ??

Dea Xxx

AH!

now I understand


well, they have to dig a huge hole (possibly at least 10' deep) along the street to reach the old pipes, shore up the sides, lift up the old pipe sections, and replace them with the new sections.


and the men need a portapotty. We're the lucky ones that got it!!





WE have not been told to stop flushing or running water .............. thank heavens!!

See......


toilets......again!



Am watching the Jubilee concert.....even OH has sat through most of it.....just to humour me I think ..... aw.....bless.

Just watched 'Hattie'.......she was a one :-0

Gins were you trying to twink your screen again and got it all over your face?


On the subject of toilets... one that I visited here... as I opened the door this chap says welcome and told me I was allowed to stay there 10 mins at most and then the door unlocks automatically ....... elevator type music is played.

There is a hand basin in there and when you wash your hands the toilet flushes and then when you leave the same chap says thank you....

now this is all very well but if you go in there with two small children and one gets off the loo and the other one gets on.. the second one gets a wet backside whilst the other one is washing his hands.. Little miss did not find it funny.. and it won't flush a second time.. ... they really have not thought it through..

Persie

we have 8 similar ones to that around town ................ except in our case, you have 12 minutes, or the door unlocks automatically



Then the door locks itself after a person leaves

.............. and the whole place is sprayed with water and disinfectant before it is used again.



However, the locks malfunction, and one person has found himself and was stuck inside for around 45 minutes before a city crew arrived with a crowbar and got him out ............... :-D :-D


Good job he had a cell phone with him

Well great to see you all toilet trained ;-)

I went to Hever Castle yesterday.

Very pretty.

As well as being the childhood home of Ann Boleyn, the castle was given to Ann of Cleves after Henry divorced her.
Later the castle was owned by the Astor family and renovated sympathetically in a style suitable for 1900's but reminiscent of Tudor times.
It was sometimes difficult to know what was original and what was added later.

In the grounds were Tudor craftsmen carrying out their trades and explaining Tudor lifestyle. One of them was a friend of OH from his wood turning forum.

Thre were leather sellers, a potter. a pewter maker etc.

OH's friend was demonstrating pole turning and making wooden porringers and plates like those found on the Mary Rose.Apparently the ordinary person would eat standing

A really pleasant day.
