I once went to take a leak in a Midlands Rectory and, looking just above me=
I observed a fine iron cistern complete with Royal Arms with JOHN WARNER &=
SONS, SANITARY ENGINEERS TO HER MAJESTY. PATENT., which made me go quite w=
eak at the knees (perhaps I should have genuflected). Next year when I was =
there, it had been removed without trace. Should have been listed by the CC=

wares which they made. Toilets and 'plumbers cocks' featured, amongst=20
other items!
