Test Drive

Test Drive

When you are looking for a new car, you take it for a test drive.
You want to make sure it is comfortable, you can reach the pedals (important for me, cos I am short), and so many other things.

When you are looking to buy a new bed, you test drive it. Most shops even have bits of plastic on the end of the bed so you don't have to take your shoes off Don't know about you, I always take my shoes off when I am going to bed.

When you are buying a new sofa, you sit in it, and make sure the leg rest come up, so is easy to fall asleep in for any number of reasons.

Why can't you test the humble toilet?
Sure, you can sit on the seat to check out if you fit.

But more goes on than just sitting on the thing.

Some of the designs are so futuristic. Some have the cistern hidden in the wall, or look like pieces of sculpture, that would look fine in your formal lounge room.

Some you flush with a pedal, and god forbid if you still have one that you have to pull the chain.

If these toilets are so advanced, why is there still a use of a toilet brush?

Maybe they should employ a physics expert to design the perfect toilet, then we wouldn't have any nasty surprises left behind. Pun intended.

Or going back to the subject of Test Driving, if we could test drive toilets before buying one, we could purchase the perfect one just for us.

I spend as little time in there as possible, but did help me come up with the blog.

Think it might be more important for the toilet paper to be accessible than the library. That is if you can afford the paper and not have to use the books or mags you have beside the throne.

Someone has already done the book on loos' around the world. Wonder if they have been to the one you went to in Hong Kong.

Think if you were on the upper floor of a skyscraper, you would be pretty safe not being seen, unless you were surrounded by other skyscrapers.

 Ok, I think you're going a little potty now!
Life isn't about how many breaths you take, but about the moments that take your breath away!

 New car - what's that? In 30 years of driving I have had 4 cars and paid $8600 in total for them. I can't see the point in a new car. I'd much rather put the money towards a holiday.
As for toilets, my preference is for one that is not too comfortable so that I will tend to spend as little time as possible in there. It's not really my favourite place to be.

Have only had one new car, and I've still got it 14 years later.
A holiday, that sounds nice. What is it? Haven't had one for years.
The place I rent off my friend need the bathroom replaced due to a bad leak before I moved in. The old one had a shower, bath and toilet. There was also a sep. toilet.
My friend asked me if I wanted the bath put back in, or would I like a second toilet?
What a silly question. Who uses a bath these days? Give me the second toilet.
Best thing since sliced bread, since my son still lives with me.
And no, I didn't get to test drive the new toilet. lol
