I have done the 'water in a wash basin' thing multiple times in both hemispheres, and it seems to be a variable with it draining clock-wise and anti-clockwise.

I have some strong Irish blood in me, originally from Co Clare where 3 female ancestors were lumbered for "killing a calf with felonious intent" at the height of the Great Famine. I think they may have been a bit hungry. They all got the usual free (one way) trip to Tasmania.

Indeed, those were the times when anything Irish was suppressed......sad, but we're moving on, Ireland is very proud of it's past and we're looking forward to the future.

Clare's lovely, not far up the road from me, the Burren is a must-visit if you ever come - and as for the toilets, I thank you for the insight, your perfect for the board !
