About This Video
Check out this exhilarating tour of the Twyfords factory, showing the whole process of how this bare necessity is brought into being from the conveyor belt and the weirdly humanoid robot sprayers to the kilns. Manager Terry Woolliscroft gives an equally enthralling running commentary of toilet manufacturing history (yes, it IS intersting!). His enthusiasm towards sanitary advancements and our progress in the last century makes a refreshing change from the usual cynicism about growth and industrial production. If Terry had it his way, everyone in the world would have flushing loos and bore holes for the developing world would be a thing of the past.
