For those of you who thought I was merely jesting (and I know there were a fair few people who were thinking "there's no way Daniel will live like that!") of what we were expecting - it went something along the lines of.....imagine your garage, with a squat toilet in the corner, a length of string to serve as a wardrobe and some packing cases to sleep on - then what we have to call home is sheer bloody luxury (said in a Pythonesque manner).
For those of you that didn't hear me say that, be warned.....this video isn't for the sqeamish or feint hearted!
That said, we've had an email from a volunteer in north east India who has arrived at his flat to find the toilet is nothing more than a hole in the balcony floor. It reminds me of Blackadder when trying to sell his home to Mrs Pants in "Money":Mrs Pants: "What about the privy?"
Blackadder: "It is the latest in open air orifices with a wide capacity gutter installation below
Mrs Pants: "You mean you c**p out of the window"

Like the flick! Is there something significant about the loo rolls on the bed? A little problem you're not telling us about perhaps in the smooth delivery???

ReplyDeleteBetter - we'll do an update when it's finished!
ReplyDeletelooking forward to the update! i'm sure with a bit of elbow grease and some small touches it will be okay...
ReplyDeleteat least i'm hoping!
Yes it's fine - we now have a couple of "luxuries" - an electric kettle & a fridge. We are awaiting our Christmas pressie (a sofa!) to arrive!
