Only toilet wont flush and can't repair until Tuesday

Valli

I do believe some people think that two things happen

1 - the loo empties

THEN

2 - the bowl refills from the cistern

There are an astounding number of people who don't know how a toilet works - or how the water stays in the bowl, either!

We have a bucket of water by the side of our toilet in the works warehouse as there is this kid called Tiny who does poos the size of babies which never go down so the bucket of water is our emergency flusher

Yes, pour it down the pan. Don't be too vigorous about it or it could splash all over the place!

This - I leved for a year like this while renovating my house

Can't you just open the cistern lid and push the handle down?

Some push button system (don't you just hate them...) pull up a lever to flush.

One of our units stopped working - flimsy plastic and we moved the lid and pulled the lever - and away you go. I would hate it even more with an over eager architect/designer bathroom design with a hidden cistern...
