Re: The O/T thread! I was very tempted to put chevrons on it actually, too many ppl hanging round wondering why we had a grocery lorry turn up full of these full size quads! Maybe when no-ones looking...

Re: public toilets hardy wrote: Got caught out today in the snow and had to go into a gents loo, No problem....... but a question to the combined geniuses of this forum. Just who is Armitage and why is he always Shanking ??????????????? Quote: The company that became Armitage Shanks was founded in 1817 by Thomas Bond in Armitage, Staffordshire. The Armitage "sanitary pottery manufacture" became a successful UK toilet manufacturer. In 1907 Armitage Ware Limited was incorporated.
In 1969 Armitage merged with Shanks Holdings Limited, a competing "sanitary engineering company" established at Barrhead near Glasgow, Renfrewshire in 1878, producing the famous brand name Armitage Shanks.[1]
In 1980 Armitage Shanks was purchased by Blue Circle Industries, and in February 1999 Blue Circle sold its bathroom division (consisting of Armitage Shanks and the Italian Ceramica Dolomite) to U.S. based American Standard Companies for US$430 million. Following this purchase, the Armitage Shanks brand disappeared outside the UK, as their former export markets, such as those in east Asia, moved over to the American Standard brand. American Standard were acquired by Bain Capital in 2007.

Re: The O/T thread! haha I might do a few more when I have time. To be honest I only decided to make it because this morning I was looking them up on ebay... They were £20  , so I thought duck this I could make one of me own.
