Technology gone berserk if you ask me.

Last night’s dinner in Piraeus was memorable - in a good way. Sea bass lying on a creamy sauce. Splendid. Then I used the facilities and they were memorable too. When I had completed my business I looked for a method of flushing and couldn’t find one for a while. Then I noticed a sort of button and pressed it. Sure enough a gush of water issued forth. But when the gushing stopped I noticed a sort of arm emerge from the back of the toilet. It placed itself on the toilet seat and squirted some liquid on it - cleaning agent I suspect. Then the toilet seat began to rotate. This was an unsettling thing to behold, especially after perhaps a glass of red wine too many. Can you image what might have ensued if Sir had accidentally touched that flush button while enthroned? Looking down at the rotating toilet seat was mesmerising, and eventually the cleaning arm retracted and I couldn’t find it any more. I returned to the table slightly discombobulated and tried to explain to my wife who suggested I drink no more wine.

I can just imagine drunk people being mesmerised by this - as you were.

@judyev I might well have been sucked in. I always worry about that in airplane toilets when they suck everything away with a violent whoosh upon flushing.

That is one fish I've never tried. I do love fish. We have trout and salmon in my neck of the woods. This type of toilet sounds like the one we have in this apartment. You pull the lever and a gush of water rushes in and takes care of the situation. The cleaning apparatus isn't a part of ours, however. How odd. No instructions or anything I presume. So your wife thought you were seeing things? Did she use the facilities? Wonder what the lady's room was like.
