    If it's yellow let it mellow.
    If it's brown flush it down.

    A common saying in the schoolyard I gather! I for one cannot bear the smell of urine that's been hanging about, nasty.

    I think the logic is that people do more 1's than 2's and a couple of flushes wasted on solids is more than gained with all the savings on weeing.

    The problem we have is that two small flushes from a modern cistern don't have the pushing power that one big flush has and so solids don't always make it all the way out to the main drain in the road.

    This could be a dietary problem. Have you tried syrup of figs ?

    Or pee in the garden. Has the added advantage of being a free organic fertiliser. Very MSE.

    Just dont do it in one place too often or you'll kill the plants.
