I've always hated long-drop toilets. You know the ones - a deep hole in the ground with a toilet seat or plank over it, surrounded by a spider-infested shack? I was always scared spiders or other nasty creepy-crawlies (I live in NZ, so weta's were the worst) would come up and bite my bum. You'd think now I was all grown up I'd be ok, wouldn't you....... I still won't use long drops if I can help it.....
