For those of you who are unfamiliar withrepparttar 118132 little known term "tinkle pantry", it isrepparttar 118133 focal point and modest appliance found in most "water closets", "places of ease" or "comfort stations".

North Americans probably knowrepparttar 118134 tinkle pantry by way of more familiar terms such asrepparttar 118135 "powder room" and "restroom", orrepparttar 118136 ever-popular family "throne room".

Few realize thatrepparttar 118137 average person visitsrepparttar 118138 toilet 2,500 times per year, or 6-8 times per day, which all adds up to about 3 years of one's life. Consideringrepparttar 118139 fact that this humble private and sometimes public privy isrepparttar 118140 most frequently visited room in any home or workplace, precious little has been done to recognize it's vital role in society.
