Housing : Living conditions

Well my sister in law once was married to a Frenchman. We used to go annually to see her in the South of France. One year we were invited to some of their friends house.
While there I had to use their loo which was inside, to my utter amazement it was all tiled beautifully, but it was a hole in the floor. What can one say it was difficult lol
 
its a squat loo.

We too had an outside loo in our council house as you describe. We did had toilet roll; however, it was Izal. Not quite the luxury I would wish to go into detail about.

There was a Kelly Lamp in the loo, but lighting it was more trouble than it was worth
