The importance of choosing a loo

No longer is it simply a matter of whether to put it inside or outside. No, the 21st century brings us loos that are squat, tall, squarish, oval, soft-closing, narrow rim, wide rim, hidden cistern, back to the wall......the options are endless. On the one hand one thinks 'it's just a loo in it's own little room, it doesn't really matter, who's going to notice, so long as it flushes...' but on the other hand you troop off to the loo shop (about the only aspect of house-related choices the kids have truly enjoyed) and the sheer weight of options makes the choice become, well, kinda important. You do have to choose one loo over another loo and another and another...and there must be a reason why you would choose one over another so you want it to be a good reason so you consider all the options...and before you know it a disproportionate amount of valuable life time has been spent worrying about which loo to choose. I mean, really.

And it's a choice (along with the bath) one makes very early in the building process as it affects where the plumber was putting his pipes last week.

Here 'tis:

  1. What fun! Really was like that. With all the decisions to make, it is a shame no added extras like a magazine rack are offered....

  3. I gather self-cleaning wasn't an option?

  4. If only...that would have made the choice real simple.
