The view from my "office"

In 2025 just why?

Carta, "Paper", does not mean "carta igenica". Septic tanks don't like paper.

Lunch time at T2. Now who am I flying. A or B?

Carta, "Paper", does not mean "carta igenica". Septic tanks don't like paper.

And yet a previous family home of 20+ years was on septic and we used t/p as per normal without issues??

MIssing the issue. Toilet Paper is designed for sewage and septic and is not "paper" as such like tissues and other forms of paper.

Lots of Italian towns have ancient seweage and septic systems that were not desigend to handle lagre amounts of (non disolving toilet) paper and clog up with normal paper.

So, are you asking why you can't through toilet paper into the toilet or why people need to be reminded they can't?

Why you can’t put toilet paper in the toilet but the @TheRealTMA explained why. I still don’t like it though.

No no. You are all mis-translating the sign. Toilet paper in toilet is fine. Any other paper such as paper towels etc is not.

Aah ok it is confusing

The same Athens AirBnB I stayed at last year (with drainage furballs mentioned in another thread) had one of those signs. A previous client had written a review of how disgusting it was. Then the host clarified!

But, yes you do wonder sometimes if it’s all paper….

Our Airbnb in Athens said 'paper' so we assumed the worst. Not pleasant.

You probably over thought that!

Today's office needs no introduction... the Super Pit.

And this evenings office, a 2UP spot out in the bush. Dunny with a view.

Wow
Are you supposed to use kitchen paper towels instead of loo rolls there?

After a bit of an issue, realising that I was on the wrong side of the island for the sunset, it was pretty especially as I had a margarita in one hand while I was watching it

Whoops just realised I didn’t say where I was

Ortigia Sicily

That's pretty upmarket really. Normally it's just squares of newspaper

My aluminum chariot taking me and Mrs QF WP to ADL this morning.

Love the view of the Brisbane river as we overfly:



Love being above the clouds. Looks like cotton wool

I was going to start a Sicily travel destinations thread, but I see @VPS already had one

Thread 'Sicily'

Dec 31, 2022

Any thoughts on Sicily as a destination in February? I would like to stay in the same place for a week but others have suggested that I should move around. I'm happy to drive but others have suggested not a good idea.

I did a search on AFF and it appears @Flashback @MARTINE @Anna have all been there

I'll be travelling alone

All feedback appreciated
