In the dark dark days, back when Thomas Crapper was just fluid in his father ball sack, if an adversary called someone “a tit” there is every chance that he would be challenged to a dual, probably ending in death for one! On this forum Clingy gives it a ‘like’ WTF….got to love the fella? :emoticon-0103-cool: Masky
Is being challenged to a dual akin to being spit-roasted ?

The first patent for the flushing toilet was issued to Alexander Cummings in 1775. 1777: Samuel Prosser invented and patented the 'plunger closet'. Joseph Bramah of Yorkshire patented the first practical water closet in England in 1778. Thomas Crapper is widely accepted as the inventor of the washdown and syphonic versions of the modern W.C.

That's better Masko. Well done. You might like to review how Thomas Twyford fits into it all.

Twyfords were part of the Staffordshire pottery industry and Edward John was part of Armitage Shanks, rivals in the same area! Bob Latchford played for Armitage in their Sunday League side, and enjoyed a hearty Irish breakfast with white pudding! :emoticon-0103-cool: Masky

Very good.
Most sanitary ware was originally made of fireclay and although both Twyfords and Armitage Shanks kept their fireclay production in Stoke-on-Trent, they set up their mass production of vitreous china in Alsager and Rugeley respectively. I was fortunate to visit all four sites back in the nineties. Don't know what their set ups are these days but I was quite fascinated by it all back then.
I've enjoyed sharing thes moments with you.

The main ingredients of sanitary ware iare Ball Clay and particularly China Clay, which I believe is only found in Cornwall…..I was in the bathroom industry for 46 years, and I am now 57 years old! :emoticon-0103-cool: Masky

I was in the industry too but not for as long as you.
Bogs, basins, baths and bidets eh? Though I was more involved in stuff for hospitals and the like.

See how the quality of the conversation between two respected stalwarts of this forum is reduced in an instance by people of suspect intellectual standards?
Pray offer him a coin and pass with pity (Dylan ‘67 said that). :emoticon-0103-cool: Masky

Alsager is just down the road from me.
Spent quite a few Tuesday evenings watching our daughter doing showjumping there.

I think Twyfords closed the factory there about a dozen or so years back. May have it wrong, but I think they built a supermarket on the site.
