A Christmas Toilet Tale!!

This story happened on: 23/05/2012

Went to the storage some years ago - actually it was on Christmas Eve (I'm guessing, but I reckon it was 2001 or 2002).  Realised I hadn't drained the water down so thought I had better go and do it.  

I got to the caravan safely and started to drain down.  Well, the sound of all that water.....well I was absolutely desperate so just had to use the facilities.  While being especially relieved and in awe of the facilities that lay before me, my glasses slipped off my nose and before I had chance to take a sharp intake of breathe, landed safely...................... down the hole in the bottom of the toilet.  

Try as I might to retrieve them...... well not being able to see too well, there was slightly more chance of hell freezing over.  So there was I contently relieved, but up to my arm pits in uri..... (well, u... know what).  I left my mobile at home so couldn't contact anyone, couldn't see to drive as my glasses were firmly encapsulated within the toilet bottom tank.  In the end, I decided to take out the toilet, put it in the back of the car and decided to risk driving home without glasses.  Take it that I lived about three miles from our storage facility, it took me over an hour to drive home, with frequent stops, but in the end made it.  

I did get my glasses out eventually, thanks to some old barbecue tools, but you can image who became the laughing stock at all our Christmas get-togethers - especially when we met with our caravanning friends.
