Ozzie/Kiwi Question!

Post by BillyT » Thu Sep 27, 2007 8:17 pm

I have a question for those of you guys that are from the South! Hemisphere that is!

In the northern hemisphere when you flush the toilet the water goes down the toilet in a clockwise motion, but in the south when you flush the toilet, the water goes counterclock wise and it rises up like a giant tornado so you have to flush the toilet and run really fast or the water splashes all over you! My friend said you can hear people screaming all the time in the bathroom trying to get out in time!

Is this true? Sounds really messy! What would make that happen? :?

G'day and welcome Billy,
To answer your question : It's basically because we're upside down mate . Just something you learn to live with . It is true that most tourists have trouble with it , particularly in the bathroom .
Most of us learn how to dodge a Grogan at an early age.
And hey! , it aint easy in the workshop either .

Cheers Craig

To tell you the truth guys , Flush toilets haven't been installed in Australia as yet , so I can't tell you which way the water swirls.

Hesh , A Grogan is something you don't want to muck around with.

When Kim is running down us elite Kiwi athletes , he is being a bit of a smart Grogan

Kim, My Brother!
Here in the north we wear pants... plural !
I don't know why they're plural, perhaps because of the underpants too! :lol:

Yes Hesh! I guess your panties count too! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:
