Growing up,  we didn&rsquo;t live a posh life,  but thanks to <a href="https://archive.rustgeek.me/2011/03/father-issues/">theOOhj Snr</a>&rsquo;s day job  in the academia, we had decent living quarters - complete with a loo I shared with the kid brother. On pain of a severe caning, Mrs RustGeek (Snr), ensured we kept our little loo clean. Unbeknownst to me, that luxury would be rudely snatched away from me in short order.</p>
