.. have tweezers built into the handle? Just noticed this morning - I've been missing out on years of tweezing things, although I'm struggling to think what.

For removing hair or items which may block the pan, usually. Not a massive problem in the UK, but not a lot of bogbrushes get made here.

I'm assuming mathematicians have toilet bruhes with pencils installed instead of tweezers...

You've unwittingly stumbled across a tweezer smuggling smuggling operation and made the mistake of going public about it. Say goodbye to your humdrum normal life, your job, your friends, your family and your face and say hello to the the exciting world of witness protection.

I'm going with to clear hair out of the sink. Possibly the most satisfying task that any person can experience in a lifetime

Yep, hair from the sink, traps or anywhere that you don't fancy grabbing it. Shower traps can be grim. Nom.

Don't think even Brabantia make them in the Netherlands.

Yeah whatever about the tweezers - but is there a little puddle of diluted arse juice in the bottom of the brush holder? Asking for research reasons.

Coincidentally, from the latest edition of the O E D.

Farage noun / far-raj / : Diluted arse juice in the bottom of the bog brush holder.

It's to remove stubborn sweetcorn pieces from the bristles.

I've solved that problem by waxing.

It's great to hear that the UK still manufactures stuff.

Even if it's bog-brushes for hairy arsed foreigners.

Youve got it wrong, I think you purchased tweezers and just noticed a toilet brush attached..... No wonder your eyebrows looked a bit wild.

Sorry, wasn't clear. I'm saying that different parts of the world have different requirements for flushing; some things we might take for granted going down the pan in our own country might not be flushable in others. Manufacturers aren't making cheap toilet brushes with one market in mind, and they're also including USPs to stand out on Amazon or wherever they're selling.

Tweezers no good for the things I've seen block the pan 😆

For sure. Use the brush handle and chuck it out after. Or close your eyes, grit your teeth and brace. Gloves optional.

I don't think the tweezers are bulky enough for my previous predicament.

I was once given a test tube and a spatula to collect a sample by the Tropical Disease Hospital and no amount of explaining that a bucket and a funnel were going to be more appropriate got me anywhere.

Fortunately those taps with the elbow paddles on top meant I could give my hands (and forearms) a good wash afterwards.

sorry.

You've got it wrong - they aren't tweezers.......
It's a nose peg for when you have to clear a particularly 'fragrant' blockage.....

When we moved in we were surprised the previous owners had used brown grout around the base of the bog.

It wasn't grout.

I had similar issues to @stwhannah once, but mine was caused by taking Speed and sitting in an Austin Maestro while listening to Jeff Wayne's War Of The Words....

Anybody else just run to the toilet to check if they also have a handle stash on their bog brush? Nail clippers? Mini shock pump? Ancient Farage pool?

I did actually check, mines an old skool brush which is somewhat dissapointing, I was hoping for a multi tool like a screwdriver with a few attachments. That was dissapointing.

I did have a very small amount farage juice in the bottom, which I tipped out, but it was neon blue rather than country tweed brown/green, so I'm fairly satisfied that my bog/brush system is operating within acceptable parameters.

Back in the 70s there would have been a way of screwing an ash tray into the top of it.

To avoid flicking hot ash on your knob/fanny?

Are the pleasures of an early morning coffee-fag-crap really now just a distant memory of a bygone era?

Clicked on to thread via the last post button, to find:

Prevents bush fires.

Wondered what had transpired that thread led to that post. Was not disappointed.
