<p>When I was a kid, my grandparents did not have an inside toilet. They did have a proper toilet but it was outside in a little hut. They had potties under the bed and if we didn’t want to use the potty (or had bigger issues) we would have to go down the stairs and outside. (no I’m not 100, I’m in my 50s).</p>
<p>(lots of older English houses were built before indoor plumbing so retrofitting them was a big undertaking- even now my brothers little terraced house - which is currently worth about $450k - has a downstairs bathroom behind the kitchen in a room that was that was an addition to the original structure).</p>
<p>Sorry, going a bit off topic.</p>
