Farar Stonehewer - use your imagination (or perhaps not ) - how do you think miners in the real world used to address such problems? With a pickaxe and shovel and lots of good earth to dig in around you, well...there you go.

Facetiousness over.

At Hampton Court Palace there is a toilet (bathroom to US folks, we name the room by what's in it, which if it does have a bath in, like it would in most homes, is the bathroom, otherwise it's the WC or toilet or cloakroom (only in Knutsford though)). Back to the Hampton Court Palace Toilet, parentheses having got overly long, it has seats for a group of people to sit side by side. The presumption is that Henry VIII and his courtiers could sit side by side discussing matters of State while 'engaged'. The Romans also had facilities like this.
