    I sat on a doorless loo in Canada that looked out over the Yukon River once when on holidays. It was deep winter so I didn't stay long enough to appreciate the view - but it was a bit like the second photo in the series.....

    Noice! I remember having to go to the thunderbox when I was little. There was a redback on the toilet seat when I was there last night...I didn't see him in the dark but boy I felt his bite.............Ah the memories.

    Worst toilet=Santorini, Greece couldn't get within 20metres of it it stank so much. Found a tree instead.

    Most unusual-Paris, france=coin operated and folds up when you close the door on the way out and it flushes the whole thing.

    Most exotic-toilet in a treehouse on the Island of Tanna with a view of the volcano.

    Most exciting=toilet at Zaytuna


    Squat drops is why french women have such good legs.

    Quite possibly ! (Says she from France.)

    Nice out houses but I guess sometimes in the rain/snow you'd just have to keep it in. ;-)

    Silly ? There's nothing wrong with being silly Michaelangelica, we're all so bloomin' serious sometimes and I'm sure that's not good for you.

    I stayed with my relatives, they were nomadic shepherds in central Europe
    Living a very traditional life,baby animals in the house to keep warm,the rest in the yard over night and back out to graze on the nearby hills during the day,it was like a national geographic photo shoot.
    They had a hole in the ground near where the angry wolf fighting, sheep dogs got tied up for the night.
    My cousin* was getting old and had really bad aim,luckily there was a shovel near by as I had to slide his in to the hole every morning before I took aim.
    You had already walked through 1 inch of sheep and goat poo to get there so it was really just for aesthetics so my wife didn't have to see it.

    * I hope it was my cousin or it might have been my great aunt she was well into her 80s and probably had bad aim too.

    LOL everyone
    Of course outhouses are just a waste of good fertiliser
    A dunny/long-drop with a view:-

    The average person spends three years of their life sitting on a toilet seat, we visit it 2500 times per year.

    More a bathroom than an out house, not very lonely either.

    I was thinking that too! Also will look a bit awkward trying to get out of it but looks like lots of fun. Maybe they are in a cauldron with salt and pepper to be added later!

    Love your loo and shower!
