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.

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.

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
