You'll be in good company as a purist, Rhiannon Very Happy

If you head over to the awards category you'll find me among the nominees for the most liberal award, but it's always nice to have another purist around to argue with! Very Happy

Hello Rhiannon! Very nice to have you aboard. Many good people around here, especially us yanks. Anyone who works in agriculture though should not be trusted, just as a heads up.

What holes would you go near then Figgy?

And hello Rhiannon. Make yourself at home? Would you like tea?

I bet you Londers all have great big drafty palatial holes.

by Lancebloke Mon Dec 30, 2013 5:15 pm

I think you would find mine is quite quaint.

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Dec 30, 2013 5:23 pm

Is your hole stuffed with antiques Lance?

by Lancebloke Mon Dec 30, 2013 6:21 pm

No... only mod-cons.

by Mrs Figg Mon Dec 30, 2013 6:29 pm

what kind of holes? ones with good plumbing, its surprising that British holes dont use bidets. yucky I call it.

obviously Scotshobbit holes just get hosed down every Spring.

Americans are generally confused by and slightly suspicious of bidets. I do wish it would work its way into the culture, for my own comfort let alone those around me.

by Mrs Figg Mon Dec 30, 2013 7:39 pm

Its amazing how useful they are. Nod

specially in Winter when its too cold to get your kit off. or you dont want to get your (head)hair wet. or your feet. or your chest, back, neck, legs etc etc.

I couldn't figure out what you were going on about until I realized you meant if you use the bidet regularly you don't need a complete body wash as often. I was really mystified about how they helped you do the usual without taking anything off or getting anything wet...

Must be a cold water thing. Usually I welcome a hot shower in cold weather.

by Mrs Figg Mon Dec 30, 2013 8:18 pm

But considering people may have an average of two poos and 5 or 6 wees a day it stands to reason you wont have or wont want to have a full body shower each time? specially if its nippy out. But on the otherhand one may want to have a skid-mark free day. So bidets are the answer.

by halfwise Mon Dec 30, 2013 8:21 pm

Americans just scrub with toilet paper, which is less elegant.

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Dec 30, 2013 8:38 pm

Wear a kilt and you need never worry about where to pee again, so long as as everything is pointing downwards job done.
None of your fancy foreign devices required. As to clean, whats wrong with giving it a good shake (obviously this differs for women who may need to adopt some form of shaking dance Shrugging

)

And never forget the golden rule- one shake bad, four shake good, 10 shakes- back away from the shaker!

by Lancebloke Mon Dec 30, 2013 8:45 pm

Bidets? What do you need them for when the lining in your undies is so soft?

Thought you got your kit off wherever... where did these rules suddenly come from?

I'm not sure I needed such a comprehensive answer though. Very Happy

Bidets were great after I had my kids, Bloody nurses did my stitches up to tight & a WARM sprinkle whilst astride a bidet stopped the tears for 5mins !
