ditchcrawler Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just wondering if anyone uses a Popaloo on their boat. We have a pump out toilet but carry an Elsan as back up, used it twice, well 3 days in 12 years, but of course it takes up quite a bit of space to store. http://www.popaloo.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigste Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Only the Bizz would have noticed that. lol Bizz missed the vital one The 2nd L should be changed to a P. lol Edited February 15, 2016 by bigste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzard Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think they've missed out the L from after the first letter P. Plopaloo. It would be dreadful if it were to suddenly collapse when sat on. All its contents from previous users would come gushing and squirting up under fearsome high pressure all around you and you'd be cover in a rain of xxxxxx. The heavier you are the higher the pressure, Whoooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!! Like sitting on a volcano. Only the Bizz would have noticed that. lol Bizz missed the vital one The 2nd L should be changed to a P. lol Yes, good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Messrs Google tell me you are right! I also remember it as Shropshire, but when you do a google search it comes up Cheshire (perhaps it was on the border and the wind was blowing one way then the other) Edit link added https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOwven0Rt94 Edited February 15, 2016 by Alan de Enfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Messrs Google tell me you are right! Perhaps it varied depending on where he was telling the tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p6rob Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've got a popaloo. Inherited it from my father, he bought it for camping use. I haven't got around to trying it yet. I don't think the seat is really made for daily use, however, it wouldn't take much to design something more sturdy. It's the gel and ease of waste disposal that's the desirable features, although, I think this would work out expensive for regular daily use.

Rob I might be wise to lower yourself onto it very gently by block and tackle, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Emergency use only. 99% of the time it will be folded up and on the shelf. Edited February 16, 2016 by ditchcrawler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
