NHS humour!!!!
They send me a kit with the stick onto which I must shit with some very vague instructions that include:
“make a bed of paper so the poo (that’s what they call it) does not touch the water”
Not so easy, first off you use ten sheets of highly absorbent toilet paper to make the bed, and they live up to their description by absorbing at a simply astonishing rate, the water from the pan.
You add ten more, same thing happens, so you give up.
Next attempt sees fifty sheets of toilet paper to bulk out the toilet and a Tesco carrier bag to catch the shit.
Success but only up to a point! I have my shit covered stick which I can now post to the NHS, however I also have a blocked toilet and a shit covered Tesco carrier bag!
I can tell you that the blocked toilet is easy - just call building management and tell them.
I can also tell you that getting rid of a shit covered Tesco carrier bag in a modern London building - all open plan - is bloody hard work.
I had to smuggle it out of the building hoping - avoiding the lift of course and make it half way across the green area opposite before I could stuff it into a bin - belonging to a cafe.
All very bloody stressful I can tell you!
