Janis, in explication of Jack's post about the toilets in Australia. I believe he gave you some mildly incorrect information. The toilets in the Northern hemisphere drain in a clockwise direction, not counterclockwise as Jack mentioned, & the toilets in Australia (& the entire southern hemisphere) drain in a counterclockwise direction, at least that's how I've always understood it. He also mentioned that at the Equator, the toilets drain straight down. I have no idea about that; I have never heard that, but I do believe that is probably correct. But, I don't really care how toilets drain in the Northern hemisphere, or the Southern hemisphere, or at the Equator (there are so few countries that lie ON the Equator, so who cares?), & all I really care about is that the toilet I'm using flushes when I pull the little handle. Thought this topic needed a little clarification, but if you want to believe that in the Northern hemisphere, the toilets drain in a counterclockwise direction (& opposite in the Southern hemisphere), I don't think that it will affect your toilet habits.
