Yes, as does everything down below the equator. Like Australia and south america.

If ya'd quit sniffin yer own flatulance, your brain would work better. :eek: ;)

And the toilets flush backwards too. Must make for some messy bathrooms.

The extremes in seasons are more apparent the further away from the equator you get. For instance, winters in texas are a lot more mild than those in Montana, just like in OZ, the northern states like queensland have a much nicer climate than where I live down south in victoria (but they also get a lot more humid which I hate).

As for the toilets fluching one way or the other, well, in OZ we use good toilets that just go straight down with no spin at all (we want that stuff as far away from as as fast as possible). I'm not sure of the kind of water guzzling loos you americans waste water with.

Actually, our toilets are low flow by law. However, some are poorly designed( not much anymore, but the early ones sucked) and when there's lumps in them, they can take 2 flushes, so it works out the same as if you have an old toilet. :eek:

All the US ones I've seen have a really high waterline in the bowl itself, so if you're partiucularly big 'down there' you'd almost have things dippin into the water.

Here, if your 'business' is scared of heights then its got a problem, as the drop can sometimes be almost a foot to the water :)

Fer that reason I've always had to stand on the toilet seats instead of sitting down. :)

Is the water level high in US bogs? The only ones I've sene recently have been on the telly.

Sure it ain't hydrodynamics? What's it do, vary the flush by contents?

(I know I'm gonna regret asking, I just know it)

modern British lavs have a dual flush! a short one for pea-shooters & a longer one for the loggers! which one you get depends on how long you hold the handle down for.

Co-incidence or fate.... :p

(Quote - Randy Sohn - Top Gun) I have told this many times before but be patient...We had a latrine built directly across the street from the club...it was the practice for the orderly to burn it out each morning. We also had a Rep from the Allison Corp that was lazy if I cared to put it mildly. It was his practice to gather up all of the newspapers in the club, amble across the street and proceed to seek relief. Well, this particular morning the orderly forgot the matches with which to light the fire to burn the latrine out..They dumped gasoline into the latrine in order to burn it out. Mr Rep, I have forgotten his name, gets all set up for a good mornings browse, and his cigarette, throws the match in the adjoining hole. This causes each lid to stand vertically from the concussion...He takes off across the flat, trousers at half mass, his bottom a cherry red, and his cigarette still unlit."
