How the humble S-bend made modern toilets possible

  By Tim Harford

"Gentility of speech is at an end," thundered an editorial in London's City Press, in 1858. "It stinks!"

The stink in question was partly metaphorical: politicians were failing to tackle an obvious problem.

As its population grew, London's system for disposing of human waste became woefully inadequate. To relieve pressure on cess pits - which were prone to leaking, overflowing, and belching explosive methane - the authorities had instead started encouraging sewage into gullies.

However, this created a different issue: the gullies were originally intended for only rainwater, and emptied directly into the River Thames.

That was the literal stink - the Thames became an open sewer.

Putting the binding on my ‘joker’ corset!

I didn’t intend for it to be purple green and grey….

I also added an extra bone because I was getting wrinkles. It’s the central one in the second picture.

Looking forward to trying it again.
