    I once rented a house in Devon. In the bathroom was one of these teapots placed down beside the loo brush. One morning, I forgot to take my Cycling Plus in with me and had nothing to do whilst waiting for nature to take its course. Being nosey :) , I picked :) up the teapot and looked inside. There was an instruction leaflet, which I unfolded and read. I wish I hadn't.

    Apparently, you are supposed to wee into the pot and pour the warm urine up one nostril and send it down the other. This is good for you. It seems to help if you know how to do circular breathing and can play the didgeredoo, otherwise you might choke and swallow the fluid.

    Just to be clear, I did not try this. I was brought up to carry a handkerchief.

  • MY wife has one of these - its called a nettipot? (not sure if I spelt that correctly)

    You fill it with warm water (not urine - that would be taking the p***) and with your head held at just the right angle you pour water up one nostril and it flows out the other - taking all sorts of strange gunk with it.

    She swears by it - I have been known to swear at it...
