• [Miss Withering tests out Mr Boggs' new toilet seat] 

  W.C. : Well Miss Withering, how does it feel, comfortable?

  Hortence Withering : Yes I think so Mr Boggs.

  W.C. : Good, good. Comfort before beauty, that's what I always say.

  Sid : It a bit big in the bowl, ain't it?

  Charles Coote : It is only 2 centrementres more than our last model and I'm sure we shan't fall out over that.

  Sid : Its falling in I'm worried about!

  W.C. : No, no! I live your overall design Mr Coote.

  Charles Coote : Oh thank you Sir.

  Hortence Withering : May I get off now please?

  W.C. : Yes of course Mrs Withering, and thank you you have been most patient.

  Sid : Yes like Jove on a monument, and what a monument!

  W.C. : Yes, we must make sure that the catch is strong enough to support the seat.

  Sid : Do you mind if I try it?

  W.C. : No, go ahead.

  [Sid gets out his paper and starts moving around from side to side on the new toilet] 

  Sid : Yes I don't think I could stand it for more than half an hour.

  Charles Coote : It was hardly designed for a reading room!

  Sid : Ere... Look at this very slender this pedestle... Isn't it?

  Charles Coote : It's streamlined!

  Sid : What for, wind resistance?

  Charles Coote : In any case the thickness has nothing to do whatsoever with the tensile strength.

  W.C. : I hope your right Mr Coote. I have had bitter experience of what happens when one of these collapses, or rather my poor wife had, God rest her soul.
