Remember this loo?

That image travelled well! I took a photo of my wife's grandmother's 'little house' and posted it here a few days ago. It was spotted by a journalist and used in a feature on outdoor toilets for the Southland Times and now it's on the front page of Stuff.nz.
But even more curious is the phone call I got from a man who believed that the loo was the one at his grandmothers place, since demolished. This is noteworthy because ...his name was Lou!

Believe it or not I have spent some time in this historic relic and can even remember when the "paper" provided was squares of newspaper stuck onto a nail.

Ah the good ol' day's eh bsprout!
Many Christchurch residents would envy you the experience. I maintain that compost toilets would have saved Chch from the sh*tty environment they find themselves moldering in now.
