Apart from it looking ugly, what's your main issue?

The waste from the sink fills the cistern. If the tap is left on it just flows out the overflow of the cistern into the bowl.

Great for people on tank water, and they actually make these now.

I can understand all of that Gordon - I am more concerned with the regulatory compliance issues.

This is another interesting one

I reckon it's a DIY hack, and going of the filthy state of the toilet, I'd say a major plumbing related flood would do the place good.

I actually didn't think of that, but you're spot on. That's exactly what boys do.

Little boys piss everywhere. We used to climb up cliffs just so we could get to the top and hang a piss off over the edge.

That brings back memories of a toilet stop at a Chinese train station.

2 rows of squat toilets facing each other with no doors. The man in the toilet opposite dearly wants to attract the attention of the white devil.

Mine don't look like that... I got two lights going after the tradie was finished and they didn't work.... he forgot to strip the wires on the end.... and never strip that much.... just enough is good... bloody possum on the power lines threw half the house out... old joint with three meters and at least two systems...

Anyone for fried possum? Short order food....
