Spider in loo

Sir: If Mr Armwrighter will 100k at the underside of that part of his WC (loo is no longer a with-it word) on which he actually sits. he will see four or so small plastic or rubber buffers. These rest on the actual pan below. The result is that there is a gap between the seat and the pan through which at army of Gadarene spiders could. if they wished, march dryshod t° fall into the water below.
