Sanitation is the most important development for mankind that has
enabled its survial, so I'm told by some hollywood film I forget...

According to a documentary I watched some months ago it's entirely the
opposite. Tests done showed that any sanitation unit installed within
a home caused contamination throughout the home whereas those (very
few these days) homes with only outside loos had virtually none. It
was fascinating and also rather disturbing :-(

I wish my hotel room had an outside bog, this mornings delivery of
curried chickpeas from the previous night definately left some 'bad
air'. It was like a fall of old shoes from the loft.

What you're talking about is public sanitation where the stuff is carried
away in closed pipes rather than open drains and not pumped back into rivers.

Which only really became an issue when people started living in targe towns.
There are loads of fatal diseases caused by contact with raw sewage and
effluent, dysentry being one of the better known.

Yes, it's contrary to common sense to have the ****ter in the house. One
worrying thing about motorhomes is the fact that the toilet is often very
close to the kitchen.

When I'm on holiday with my brother in his caravan, he won't let
anyone **** in the toilet, you have to go to a toilet block. Omly
peeing aloud in the chemical toilet.

When I had a caravan and me kids were little I had a similar rule. Try
enforcing that with three girls (two not-quite-teenage daughters and the
wife) when it's ****in' with rain outside. If I recall correctly there was
also the "once I sit down I can't stop myself" excuse................ love
'em.

It's certainly true that, with the introduction of the `water closet' our
Victorian ancestors were initially reluctant to allow them into their
homes
for fear of `bad air'. Those outside toilets were a deliberate choice.

My grandparents has a house built just before the first war in which the
lavatory was a kind of lean-to built onto the side of the house, with a door
to the garden and another to the bathroom in the house, so they clearly
weren't quite sure that an inside lavatory was a good idea.

They probably didn't have automatic extractor fans with timers in those days.
I think there's a rule that hotel en-suite bogs have to have them, but you
rarely see them in homes even today.

"Bad air" wasn't simply a euphemism for the smell. The Victorians, including
Francis Chadwicke actually believed that infection was carried by the air.
It was the stink from the Thames that persuaded Parliament to invest
millions in Bazalgettes sewage scheme. Only afterwards was it discovered
that infection was carried via contaminated water and effluent which the
sewerage schemes and treatment plants were ideally suited to combat.
