Recommend me one. A "normal" oval shaped one to replace a broken one. Reviews I read are mixed or poor to say the least (usually dodgy hinges and fittings). I think I fancy a wooden one as I'm unlikely to get a colour match for the existing bog.

I'd be worried about splitting and splinters with a wood one. How about something nautical?

Wooden one is never as cold as a plastic one!

After various experiences of them falling apart we currently "run" a plain black one from Screwfix that seems to be holding up well.

A wooden one will always split.ย  The split is invisible when it first occurs and announces itself by pinching you painfully on the arse when you sit down.

If your toilets are like ours, the answer will be "the only one which actually fits."ย  Finding one was, ahem, a pain in the arse.

What the heck are you all doing with your wooden toilet seats?

Yup - bin there. It's not when you sit down - that causes the invisible split to open slightly - it's when you stand up again, thats when it bites you. You're suddenly really angry and you don't know why becuase when you look at the toilet seat theres nothing there

 

anyway. If its a normal shaped toilet with normal shaped toilet seat then the 'Bemis Vegas Ultra-Fix' is a completely unremarkable looking toilet seat thats put together properly, and importantly, has fixing that actually work as they are intended to and secure the seat properly.

Placing my posterior upon it, supporting all of my ninety three beautifully proportioned kilograms.

 

its when you stand up, thats when it bites you.

Yes, that's my recollection but I couldn't figure out why the split opens op under the weight.ย  But you're right.

This means either 'Big John' isn't really all that big as his feet don't reach the floor..... or he's got a really big toilet

Surely everybody brings their knees up either side of their ears? Don't they?ย  Or did my mom teach me wrong?

Squatty potty removes the need to hold your feet above your ears!

Thanks for the suggestions so far. The Bemis ones do look quite good, though perhaps I need barbed wire.

It is proving to be that way yes.

Indeed, plus hands clasped tightly behind the neck.
