The Lock In – The Curious Case of the Automatic Flush

This week during The Lock In, listener Stuart has posed a question that has baffled mankind for years... well, at least since sensor-operated toilets became a thing.

Why do automatic flushes in public toilets seem to have a mind of their own? Why do they flush when you're still sitting there? And why does it always happen at the most inconvenient moment?

Naturally, we approach Stuart's question with the seriousness, professionalism and scientific rigour it deserves... for about thirty seconds.

What follows is an in-depth investigation involving public toilets, questionable theories, unnecessary levels of detail, and an amount of poo-related discussion that will surprise absolutely nobody who listens to this podcast. If you've ever been startled by a rogue flush or of course the elusive ghost poo, this is the episode for you.

Being friends for literally decades not only means we have lots to share, it also means we are not scared to have a good laugh at each others expense, what else are friends for?
