"You're way ahead of the curve, KK."


Just got pool sucked out. The terminology from the guy who came was fun.

The cess pool is 8ft deep and 6ft by 8ft wide, liquid runs off through a hole halfway up one side into a soakaway.

Floating at the top of the full cess pool is a 1ft thick 'crust' of 'shit and rag', underneath that are several feet of liquid and underneath that another foot or so of shite, making a 'sandwich'.

In pic you can see the huge suction hose being pushed through the 'crust'.

Just remember I was the trend setter! More importantly they have proper full height urinals in the Blythe, a prerequisite for a good pub and subject of another thread of mine.


When I fitte it I tested it without the tap in place and got a jet of water in my face when the toilet was flushed. Funny! I'd better upload a photo.

Calsug, we had exactly the same dilemma.


In the end we got it done as we were going to rip up the kitchen anyway. It felt like a lot of money, but it's become so useful for little ones and ageing parents/ grandparents who don't want to go upstairs.


Technically you're meant to ask Transco to move the meter, but some CORGI engineers will do it for you. It costs about ?2k on top for Transco to come out..!!


Yes Saniflos are more prone to breaking down, but it's not like you're going to be using this loo 10x a day. I would say do it.

Does the sink provide hot water?

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
