London Mayor Says No Need To Flush

London mayor Ken Livingstone has revealed his rather interesting toilet habits, and says there's no need to flush.

He says there is "no earthly reason" to bother if there was just urine in the bowl and people were misguided about what urine actually is. "Red Ken", as he is commonly known, said it was all based on the old adage "if it's yellow, let it mellow" and advised gardeners to fill up a bucket and hurl it on the plants as the region around London suffers its worst drought for a century.

He then urged Londoners to waste less water when getting rid of their own waste. "If we continue to waste the amount of water that we do, London will run out of water," Livingstone said.

"A third of all the water you use you flush down the loo, and actually there is no earthly reason that you need to flush the loo if you have merely urinated. That's a huge saving of water".

"The experiment in my home, which is now into its second year, has been a success... It's just that people have a perception that their urine is some sort of liquid form of their excreta".

"A lot of gardeners put their urine in a bucket and actually use it. Plant roots love it."
