So the hand basin fills the cistern. Clever huh?

Good luck michaels. Is there still hope? Sounds like it. As every football fan knows:

"It's not the despair, I can handle the despair. It's the hope that gets you".

There are a few variants of these now. I have one belonging to non res parent in a box in my barn.

No, I don't know why you'd buy a loo you have no where to use it either.

That'd be a nightmare to use.

Firstly I'd hardly be able to reach - and it'd mean your knees/dress/skirt were dangling over/on the lavatory (which might not be yours).

Then, it also depends what else you'd usually use a sink for.

If it were in a room where there was only a loo, then it's a space saver, but as a general sink in a general shower room it'd be tricky brushing your teeth in that - or the dozen or so other things I use a bathroom sink for.

Apostasy is a capital offence in Iran, and anyone born into a Muslim family is assumed to be Muslim, and therefore membership of some parties, which want a secular state, is rather bad for your health.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not trying to present Iran as some sort of Utopia!

We get problems over here with certain families and doctors bringing their 'ideals' with them from that part of the world. They learn pretty fast that assimilation is expected as far as the law is concerned in Aus. There were some cases a while back of Australian doctors performing genital mutilation on young girls. They went to gaol.

The next lot of parents sent the kids back to the mother country to get it done. They're in prison now too.

I had some very strange dreams last night about my front tooth falling out. Bizarre!

Yes, it is clever. I don't fancy kneeling on the toilet seat lid to wash my hands though...

Most homes over here have enough room that you could use it easily enough, especially new ones. The average new home here must be 2,500 sq ft at a guess, possibly more and there are plenty at 3,000+.

I suspect the idea is to approach from the side.
