Re: Tippler toilets
Surely it's a generation thing rather than north/south. Tipplers were normal in Ossy (up until the 1960s?) and some parts without sewers had tubs that used to be emptied by hand into a council wagon - nice job. But in one of his books Spike Milligan refers to the 'night soil' lorry doing the rounds in Bexhill-on-Sea (and you can't get much further south than that). I think there were a lot more flies when we had tipplers.
