1) Seems like flush toilets get re-invented about every 2000 years: the Minoans around 3-2000BC, the Romans around 0BC/AD; then the Victorians around 1900AD. Next: end of civilisation as we know it, so it can be re-invented again in another couple of thousand years?
2) Flush toilets may prove one of the great 'wrong roads' of progress, that need to be dis-invented: deliberately polluting vast quantities of scarce and precious fresh water... What's the sense in that. The Midlands dry-ash option might win out yet.
3) Support Water Aid: extremely useful charity working to bring decent loos and clean water to the developing world, especially in Africa.
