The people are talking about leaving the toilet seat up or down and everyone has their view.
Including my great mate Jon from Plug-it products in Lodi California. If you need to plug something then Plug- it products have the thing for you.

Nice work Jon!
Have you ever been caught short?
I mean, have you ever been “busting” to use the loo and it just wasn’t available, you were cross legged and tears are starting to run as you can only focus on one thing…….
Now most shopping centres have toilet facilities and the local football and netball fields usually have a loo that you can use after you have been sipping multiple latte’s whilst watching junior win “the match of the day”.
Whilst doing plumbing repairs on most homes we are often in the bathroom, so its a matter of closing the door, doing what needs to be done and breathing a sigh of relief.
Well it appears that “wanting to go”, at an inopportune time is quite common as I found when looking through the QandA with Lucy Macken in Sydney Morning Herald Domain section recently. August 20, 2011
Q&A: This question’s a wee bit awkward
Q. Forgive me for being blunt but is it ever OK to use the bathroom at an open inspection?
J.P., Crows Nest
A. Agents responded uniformly to this query with a moment of stunned silence. A few heartbeats later and the consensus tends to be that ”the facilities” (for want of a more abstract euphemism) are not for public use but permission is granted in the case of emergency.
Children seem to be the main beneficiaries of such largesse, although parents in the know have a few tips for regulars on the Saturday inspection circuit: make good use of the coffee shop breaks and if you get time between appointments, let your children visit the local park.
After all, no one wants their thoughtful assessment of a prospective home interrupted by a loud, ”Mum, there’s no toilet paper in here!” Thankfully, agents tend to be an accommodating and non-judgmental lot.
But as they say, When you gotta go….. well!
Today’s blog post is from Exponential Growth Strategist (http://www.ExponentialPrograms.com) Dr Marc Dussault (http://www.MarcDussault.com) who tells me that Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam setup a test with a fly printed at the bottom of the men’s urinals to ‘reduce’ spillage. From memory, the reduction was astonishing, 75+% reduction. The reason it seems is that given a target, men can actually aim quite well…
Marc came across this version of the same principle in his native Montreal, Quebec at a local sports restaurant called La Cage Aux Sports (http://www.cage.ca/pointe-claire)…
Let’s face it – spillage or no spillage – this just looks like a lot of fun doesn’t it?
Psst! If you look closely at the floor – there’s no spillage!!!
How Much Water Is Wasted When I Continue To Let My Toilet Leak?
When a meter’s flow indicator moves and you know that all the water outlet are off, both inside and out, you can be sure that somewhere in your lines, there is a leak. The continuous drip of a leaky tap or a constantly running toilet will add dollars and cents to your water bill in a hurry. When this happens, it is time to call for toilet plumbing services. (more…)

Some days when you think you are home free, there is a trap waiting for you.
Have you ever had a day like that?
Marc takes business growth very seriously, but insists we plumbers take time to have a laugh, even at our own expense.
Thanks for the medicine Dr!

Recently The Lone Drainer and Pronto were called to repair a leaking toilet cistern in Bondi Junction, I was surprised to see this toilet not only had a flush button but came with a remote control as well. The client informed me that this toilet actually contained a bidet built into the toilet seat, complete with retracting heated water spout, air dryer, and instant seat heater, all of which are adjustable to suit individuals comforts and anatomy. Whilst the bidet is a very popular plumbing fixture in Europe, by comparison, I have come across few during my many years of plumbing in Australia.
The bidet toilet seat is a compromise.
Whilst this can be deemed as a “luxury” item for most, our client revealed that a relative of theirs who has suffered a stroke also had a bidet toilet seat installed. This has proved to be of great assistance to them and their family when using the bathroom, with loss of mobility in extremities after the stroke. What a great idea, a bidet toilet seat could be of great assistance for the elderly, disabled, infirmed or even people with sports injuries

The fastest dispatch and delivery of a plumbing emergency was…yesterday morning!
Our next plumbing emergency had been put back, another sustained downpour had flooded the local streets. Visibility and comfort levels were poor.
We stopped for some morning tea, a hot coffee and some sustenance along a well known fast food strip, as we finished our break the mobile phone rang….
A local Medical Centre called, asking for fast plumbing service to repair their one and only badly leaking toilet. There was water leaking all over the floor, the waiting room was full of patients. The very polite receptionist was screaming for HELP.
Little did she know we were parked 30 metres from her front door and looking for action.
3 minutes after the phone call for emergency plumbing was received, our heroes walked through the front door of the Medical Centre, armed for action.
25 minutes later, the leaking toilet was fixed. The faulty water inlet valve was replaced. The leaking waste pipe was sealed.
The receptionist was overwhelmed. ”Lone Drainer, you really will fix our plumbing Pronto” she said.
When the Lone Drainer says Pronto, He means it!
What great service from an eastern suburbs emergency plumber!
