Footpaths where I am are like an ice rink. Still not much snow though, just a very light dusting a few days ago, what I mentioned.

VulcanB2 you have not put on your location in your profile
 
I'm afraid that information is classified. But I believe it's an under ground base, somewhere on a remote island. It is from here that he coordinates his defenses against the evil governments of the world, who are planning to turn us into automatons to do their bidding.

Oops! Forgot to mention that Magic, thanks for reminding us. Clones are essential of course. There's obviously no way a single individual could coordinate such an effort on our behalf.

Flush it Stringy. Can't have that stench in your house.
 
If you need to go again, fill a saucepan with water and pour it down the pan. manual flush comes in handy sometimes. Thumbs%20Up

Quote How could I fill a saucepan with water?

Melted snow?  Get water from a neighbor if it's only your home's pipes that are frozen?  Local ground water (it's not like it has to be clean water)?  Six bottles of Evian?  Anything but beer!

Every homeowner should know how to bucket-flush.  Our toilets here may be slightly different from European ones and typically take more than a sauce-pan full, but a gallon or two works very well. 

If we have a power failure here for any reason, we lose our water because it comes from a well in the back yard with an electic pump.  Our plan B for flushing is swimming pool water - 10,000 + gallons will do a lot of flushing.

Allardjd.
 
Thanks for you input. However, my post was simply a light hearted one and not to be taken too seriously!! I do of course know how to get out of a situation in cases such as that.

Affirmative Stringy. Thumbs%20Up
 
although I do have one other suggestion to add to John's...
 
You would find it quite a relief, but not necessarily socially acceptable. Big%20smile
