At the request of my wife I added a bidet facility to our toilets (you must have check valve on water supply) Hot and Cold water connection, some have 2 x sprayer for front and back for women. Also sprayer(s) for cleaning nozzel. loo paper is reduce and gives you a fresh feeling (especially if the hot water is initially cold!) My wife said we are so uncivilised using paper
Yes my wife also prefers not to use Bog role, i guess we could learn from others in so many ways.. Im still waiting for someone to explain the connection between Bog role and the virus..
Hi Heathen, Bog roll was the first item in the shops to disappear quickly since the virus arrived! People started to worry that certain items would not be available for long, so they panic-bought toilet paper and fought over it.
None at all, notwithstanding the diarrhoea issue which most people would not know about I would suggest that it appears that toilet comfort is dear to the hearts of the British people and many others of course, it appears that the height of modern civilisation is to have a clean bottom and not as some might have speculated ownership of a mobile smartphone , sales of which have now bombed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51981841
Dr Aseem Malhotra (cardiologist) on Sky News explains the underlying health conditions bit in detail.
Well it gets re-purposed in the Phils for lots of things But I could buy Kleenex easily in the UK while the bog roll shelves were empty But you could be right
I know. It was the only explanation I could think of except for a canny plan by someone to make a buck or two.
I've seen new staff in the local Morrisons today, people who were unfamiliar with the POS (Point Of Sale ) systems at the checkouts.
I no longer go to work. I decided to call it a day on Sunday night. I don't want to make the situation worse by mingling with people. There is no money coming in but the lives of my family and the lives of everyone in the UK is paramount.
No amount of cash on the planet is worth the health of your children mate,hope your family remain in good health during these uncertain times, the time your spending with them is priceless.
On the way into work tonight, there was massive queues into McDonalds drive thru before 7pm closure. Traffic backed up to main roundabout causing traffic jams. Unbelievable.
Yes Druk1, you're right. Many of us here on British-Filipino will be hoping that all our members stay safe, as well as our wonderful families. I often wonder if the positives we all experience in this crisis will last into the post-pandemic era; to make a brighter world. Nobody knows when life will get back to normal but we have to hope that the planet will change for the good. Most of the people whose teenager years have long gone fear for our families and ourselves and hope that a brighter day lies ahead post-pandemic. Boris Johnson has just spoke on the TV/Internet and I wish he had done more, like stopping public transport for the same three weeks too.
Yes, I am self employed Jim, working as an agency driver. I work when I want, but after seeing how lackadaisical all the big companies have been, I don't want to play Russian roulette any more. I am also going under the knife soon for a hernia operation under local anaesthetic so it was time to back off, protect myself and other people too. If I was younger, I would have probably have continued on. Three weeks is not long to put up with these restrictions. I am waiting for news on financial relief for the self-employed but my decision to stop preempts any other considerations.
This is not three weeks Mike, if they relax these rules in 3 weeks time then they will just prime the next round of infection, more people will die. With the best will in the world three weeks will not eradicate spread of this thing although it will greatly reduce it for the time being. Three weeks might get us back to where we were three weeks ago and even three weeks ago the measures they are taking now would have been likely too late. This is one of those bits of my pessimism that I rather hope is wrong. I hope your operation still goes ahead Mike, but depending on developments in the next couple of weeks it might not happen.
