World Toilet Day

Today the 19th of November is World Toilet Day.

Sounds like a joke but for millions of people around the globe the lack of decent sanitation is a very serious health risk. The presence of a decent toilet is something that most of us in the West take for granted, a place where we can have a quiet read or talk on the phone according to this survey – WTF?

Not a very glamorous thing but the absence of adequate sanitation is a problem for an estimated 2.5 billion people around the globe according to this charity – something to ponder this morning while sat on the throne – got to be better than phoning a friend.

Visiting the loo ought to be a very private thing, so at least I don't have to ask the audience!

Noddy, I agree, a place for some (hopefully) quiet contemplation - not worrying about a 50/50.
