Happiness as Anarchy #165: Toilets that flush properly

Argentina is in a bit of a time warp and one of the things that comes with that is difficult plumbing. I am very much appreciating the modern plumbing of Australia now that I’m home. Press the button and it flushes successfully every time. No need to hold the button down to ensure a proper flush, or to wait around to check that it worked. The good flush is a tiny, quotidian pleasure.

Blenheim Palace’s £4.8m gold toilet was stolen in September this year.
