UK new builds: the builders will tell you that the toilet flushes are “European style” to save water.

This is a lie. I live in two new build flats. One in Portugal and one in England. The toilets they put in in UK new builds are just shit at flushing. The ones in Portugal flush properly.

the UK blaming Europe (a continent of which it is a part no matter how much it insists it’s a continent of its own) for things it does to itself is a tradition going back to at least the early 80s but probably medieval times

the ones in Portugal probably flush to a sewage treatment system too, rather than the local beach.
