Stuff I learned today.

You can 'twin' your toilet, with one in a third world country, and by doing so, help improve the third world toilet provisions.

See here.

A new bar / cafe / cake stop, I've just discovered in Salisbury have twinned their toilets with a latrine in Malawi, they've got a framed photo of it and everything. Top work.

My daughters school twinned their loos in the same way this year instead of doing the Christmas shoebox thing

2.4 billion people don’t have somewhere safe, clean and hygienic to go to the loo

They all must cycle the same route as I do, whats wrong with behind the hedge

Bill gates is reportedly working with Firmenich, the flavour and fragrance folk behind just about every taste and scent on the planet.

He wants to make plumbed loos in some poorer countries more attractive and enticing to use

I read an article about women and girls being abducted and raped when they went into the bush to relieve themselves - it made harrowing reading.
I therefore twinned my toilet with one in the DRC at a cost if £60.
Please think about doing the same.

Been there having done a bathroom and kitchen. Tiles are easy once you figure out the technique

I learned today that my 2nd cousins were not my 2nd cousins. And what I thought was my Uncle, is actually my 1st cousin once removed.
