To mark 'World Toilet Day' - (Yes, there is one) - the charity CORD - based in New Street, Leamington - launched the world’s first toilet twinning project, allowing you to link your loo with its very own twin toilet in the African bush.
You twin your toilet with a new loo 4,000 miles away in Burundi and in return for your sponsorship you get a certificate with a picture of your twinned toilet and its exact co-ordinates so you can see it for yourself on Google Earth - How Exciting!! Let's hope that the picture is of the OUTSIDE of the toilet!
It could make a wonderfully novel Christmas gift for the man who has everything.
Richard Dickson, CORD’s head of supporter relations, said: “It’s a fun way of tackling a very serious issue". Sewage has never been such fun!
