Despite the mixer tap at the City Art Gallery, those dark moments have been pretty damn opaque lately. However, it has come to our attention that Friday the 19th of November is World Toilet Day! Can you contain your excitement? We can. Just.
The clever people who have invented this exciting day are Wateraid - apparently, there are people who have no toilets at all, and thus suffer more than we do, from having to use crap ones.
Here are some facts to improve your mind:
2.6 billion people do not have somewhere safe, private or hygienic to go to the toilet.
The simple act of washing hands with soap and water after going to the toilet can reduce diarrhoeal diseases by over 40%.
Anyone REALLY concerned about such matters should pop along to Oxfam Micklegate and buy one of their wonderful "unwrapped" gifts....specifically the "build a bog" one, as it is clearly the most appropriate!

It's even got a quote by Stephen Fry! This has certainly brightened our day.
