Toilet Talk
We don't seem to have these implements of modern technology over in the UK, so I am finding it increasingly difficult to adjust. When I want them to flush they don't, when I don't, they do, and I've lost count of the amount of times that they've been activated whilst I'm seated. I really should Google them to find out how they work.
Is there a manual flush I can use? Because often when I am finished, I am forced to exit without being able to flush, and obliged to listen to the derrogatory tutts of complaint from the unfortunate next user.
If anyone can assist me in this matter and educate me on the working of these contraptions, then please feel free to send me a private message so I can avoid any further embarrassment. At the moment I feel like my parents trying to use, in vain, the video player. Surely I'm not getting old already? I'm only 26!
