I did read somewhere, however, that the act of reading could actually aid in elimination (don't ask me where I read this, but I assure you I was not on the toilet at the time). I do have my own opinion/theory that this is predominantly a "guy thing" (my own research is limited but its my theory and I'm sticking with it). Personally, I spend as little time in the bathroom as I possibly can. Not that that has anything to do with the topic at hand, but it is not conducive to reading.

No, I confirm, it isn't... Though in my experience we women find it uncomfortable quicker than men do! Smile

I used to keep copies of 'Private Eye' premier satirical magazine, in the loo, to impress my friends......God, what does that say about me....now I don't.

Now I have - The Boomer Bible - do any of you know that?

I know what you mean about the three kids though.....I once took a quarter pound bag of cherries....to eat in the loo, so I didn't have to share them.....but then I was a rotten Mum.....they are all still speaking to me though....so they know.....and they 'sometimes' don't want to share.....with their kids.......
