Sky News reports:

New homes may have mandated showers and toilets...

At last the UK will move on from tin baths in the parlour and outdoor privies to join the rest of the developed world.

FNN asked national treasure Yorkshireman, 'Compo' Simmonite for his comment and he told us:

Eeeh bah gum... there's nowt wrong with an outside privy.

When I were a lad I used to spend hours in there with a Stag magazine I got from t' tip.

Them were the days ... when you could buy a packet of fags for tuppence, enjoy some privacy and be a monkey in peace!

Anyone got a slice of parkin?

Or as Yorkshire comic Charlie Williams (RIP) might have said:

Alreet flower? Keep thee' voice down or I'll move in next door t' thee!
