Thomas Crapper

Sorry that Thomas Crapper myth is just that.. a MYTH

The real Thomas crapper was an engineer in England. “Toilets” that flushed were around over a 1,000 years before he was born.

Contact Plumbing Mechanical publications and ask about the History of plumbing.

Remember The English like the Aussies NEVER developed anything.

Only America put blokes on the moon, BUT we do have folks in this country who dig ditches and think they are professionals in the drainage field GO FIGURE Ego’s huh

Hey Silvan, we have not got the time to develope anything, were too busy inventing stuff. we have been upside down for too long, its amazing we can get the toilets to run, because the pipes have to run uphill. We are a truly amazing people us ausies.

Thomas Crapper was born in Thorne in 1837

Yes there is a book about him, called flushed with pride. ISBN 0 356 04727 is the book number, any bookstore can get it using the above number. Try your local library with the number too.

Only Americans have blown people up trying to put them on the moon.

Steven YOU blokes are amazing to get the vortex to flow opposite then ours AND knowing you do upside down roofing is very impressive.

Actually I did a few upside down roofs where the insulation was held down by river rocks ( Tamco roofing systems etc with KMM for the flashing)

I think it is amazing to find a country that has “plumbers” doing roofing as I happen to be the only LMP here as far as I know with an extensive roofing back ground.

What is so good about actually KNOWING several trades and being duly licensd in each is It helps us professionals find leaks easier.

Thank you Mate for answering the above comment. Sylvan

Steven thisXXX goes without saying YOU folks did develope the proper way of doing it.

Amazing what we penal colonies did once we got away from England holding us back.

Look at Canada the BEST trained plumbers in the World are from there.

We steal Ideas from across the boarder constantly.
