I also gained a hint about the identity of our dear friend the GA, at least your gender, as you did not mention being at all leary of entering the men’s side, and had nothing to note of the ladies decor. Tho, is it possible Methodists have genderless convieniences?

I have allways been a big fan of simple things.
The self flushing tiolet is just one of them along with the old mouse trap!

Hats off to Mr Crapper and all who enjoy the simple things in life!

Ps,,, I think his is grave is in Beckenham/ Anerly hill cemetery?
I had an old freind who was a member of The Thomas Crapper Society.

(Though I think I’d have written “Contrary to schoolboy myth” as ‘schoolboy mirth’!). Thanks for this piece.
