Tale of the toilet seat.

John Prescott tries to explain the strange case of the toilet sear

I bought ONE toilet seat (and NEVER claimed for it) but because it was an old Victorian toilet and the seat was modern, it didn't fit properly. If you're really interested, the seat was a metric measurement, the toilet was imperial.
So in December 2004, a plumber charged £210.79 for repairs to soil pipework and leaking water taps in the toilet. Whilst he was repairing the old Victorian toilet, he also refitted the seat. In 2006 we had to get new taps in the bathroom. But whilst the plumber was there, he refixed the same seat as it kept getting loose. The total repair bill, which was mostly for the bathroom work, was £112.52.
In fact it never really solved the problem. So I finally I chose to completely refurbish the bathroom and the toilets. All paid for by myself, without a penny charged back to the taxpayer.
