I don’t usually add video links, etc. here but I had to laugh at this
If you don’t have 6 minutes to spare I suggest you jump to 1:15 for Sir Alan Sugar’s rendition of the theme tune of The Apprentice (from Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev if you’re interested and didn’t know).
If you haven’t bought a toilet in the last few years it may come as news to you that the “flush & go” system as we knew it is now (as far as I know) more or less extinct.
Gone is the old handle.

In is a dual flush system, with a small button and a big button.
The small button is for Number Ones. The big button is for Number Twos, but nobody ever tells you that. Isn’t the internet marvellous?

So here’s my list, off the top of my head as to why I think the new system is (if you pardon the pun) crap…
My son, Jack, turned 4 last week.
The other day as we watched TV (I think The Simpsons was on -nothing to do with anything) Jack cheerily said “sure we’ll never get dead?”
I don’t think he was waiting for an answer. He was happy to leave it at that.
Lucy (aged 7) turned to me with a knowing smile and said “Daddy, will you tell him or will I?”
I didn’t ask her to expand on what she might tell him.
It was a funny and sad moment. An excellent combination I find. 🙂

Last night as I was dressing Jack for bed, he hung his head and quietly asked “Sure fuck off boyo isn’t a nice thing to say?”
I shook my head and told him no it’s not. He seemed happy to know it.
