Garderobe..

Don't see many of them around these parts. But it does beat carrying a chamberpot down the stairs..

Still have outhouses though. Except we call them PortaPottys® now. ;-)

When I visited York (the old one), I was amazed walking around in the Shambles, that the road is actually laid out so you can toss your chamber pot out the window and the stuff travels down an indentation in the sidewalk to the river.

Many times I’ve wished I could live in an earlier time, but I need indoor plumbing,

It also keeps people out of the moat...
