Rest room story

[David Lawson]

Hi Ron, As you read, I refrained from using the expression of 'toilet,dunny
or 'loo', which we tend to use, as it would only confuse the reader not from
OZ. Regarding water going down the drain, bath water does indeed go the
other way down here! Actually our toilets have two buttons, one for a small
flush and a larger one for the other!! Amazing what you learn on this site
is it not?
Cheers, David Lawson
