The piss process

Receiving a press release from the World Toilet Organisation titled 'Debut Presentation of World Toilet Expo and Forum In Shanghai Receives the Thumbs Up' is enough to perk-up even the most jaded journalist. When you then learn that this WTO (Mission: To investigate and find out the root cause of dirty toilets and identify key motivations and incentives for good solutions, assume the role of a “Change Agent” to bring social change, accelerate the learning curve by sharing knowledge and mobilise and coordinate both volunteers and organisations) is also planning to hold a World Toilet Summit in Belfast this September, then the mind boggles. According to the WTO website, the Belfast event, "Will be the first major world conference devoted to toilet provision and standards ever held in the West."
One can picture it now: Gerry Adams and the reverend Ian Paisley side-by-side at the urinals, marking the opening of this breakthrough event with a breakthrough of another kind.
