Yesterday on the way home I saw the fire brigade breaking out somebody stuck in one of the old cast iron toilets. Hope you all have a better day than that unfortunate person ๐Ÿ˜ธ

When I was little I got my hand stuck in a trolley. All I heard was a staff member say "I'll get the butcher". My dad was a butcher. I knew what they did. I cried. The butcher brought out a tub of fat.
