I'm on FiRe!
Shit on me, I have remembered another one!
My other bog topic was about water waste.
I saw a programme the other day, apparantly the biggest water waster in the house is a toilet. The average person goes 6 times a day and a toilet uses 9 litres per flush. Thats 54 litres per person per day. A bath is 80 litres or so, so flushing regularly is not far off a bath of water by the end of the day!
So yeah, don't flush the toilet every time you use it and get a hippo thing for the tank.
THATS IT...NO MORE TALK ABOUT TOILETS EVER AGAIN.
I sound like an obsessive, although I never talk about toilets much (who does?) so I guess I have been holding all these vital questions in my head for years, yearning to share them with the massess!

Mr House(indeed if that is your real name) - flushing the toilet is not only a waste of water but also a waste of perfectly good urine which like vineger has over 1000 different uses in my house.

The yellow color of urine was previously thought to come from gold. Alchemists spent much time trying to extract gold from urine, and this led to some interesting discoveries such as white phosphorus, which was discovered by the German alchemist Hennig Brand in 1669 when he was distilling fermented urine. In 1773 the French chemist Hilaire Rouelle, discovered the organic compound urea by boiling urine dry.
