Wonky toilet seat
25 Answers
Our toilet seat is so wonky it's becoming a fearful exercise to stay on the damn thing!
The wobble seems to be located in the metal bar that connects the seat and lid.
I have tiightened up the wingnuts that secure the seat to the bowl, so it's not that.
Is there a repair - or is it time to replace?

(Why the heck manufacturers think they're a good idea, I've never understood). Try your local plumbing outlet for rubber washers instead. They won't slip about once the wingnuts are tightened.
excuse us andy - my aunt who lived on a private estate in the country had the most wonderful earth loo up the garden in a wooden hut - nice wide gap at the top and bottom of the doort to assist with air conditioning. She had no electricity or gas and used a range to cook on and oil lamps. The water came from a handpump in the scullery across the yard from the ever-open kitchen door and swallows would build their nest just inside her kitchen. As young children we would love to visit and see the young swallows poking their heads out of the nest built in the angle between the ceiling and the wall. She bought a round oak dining table to seat 12 at the local sales for 10 bob and had a dealer offer her a fortune for it, but she kept it. A real country woman - used to shoot pheasants and rabbits from the cottage bedroom window as they loitered in the field in front of her house - looking down to the Thames. Magical memories
