Bet you didn't know this . .

Elizabeth 1st was the first monarch to have a flushing loo.
Known as Ajax, this novel throne was designed by her godson, Sir John Harington, who she had previously banned from court for telling smutty stories.

Mine of useless information, aren't I.

"So use AJAX, the foaming cleanser
Gets rid of stains just like a whiz
You'll stop paying the elbow tax
When you start cleaning with Ajax!"

Funny the things you remember from childhood.
