Merry Christmas everyone!
Our accommodation in Dublin consists of a very nice serviced apartment. It's not cheap accommodation (although it also isn't the Ritz). Generally it's very nice, but there are some rather curious features.
Amongst them is this sign:
You may need to enlarge this to read it. In short, it advises guests that due to the adverse weather, there has been an increase in broken water mains and so Dublin City Council are reducing the water pressure or turning off the water as a way to conserve and build water levels back to normal. It includes a number of tips to "aid with your conservation of water". One of these is "only flush the toilet when necessary". The thing that concerns me about this particular tip is that flushing the toilet isn't a particularly pleasurable or exciting exercise. I certainly have never pressed the flush button just for fun. Indeed, I suspect that most people only do it when necessary. So what does this request really mean? I rather suspect that it's code for "if it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down". Now, we may not be staying in the Ritz, but asking us not to flush our number 1s is still just taking water conservation a bit too far.
This sure is something
