Questions, come one and come all! Just like in school, where you were told there are no dumb questions, there are no dumb questions here either. If you have any questions for me, please use the "Ask Military Wife" button in the left hand column. Here's one I had only heard asked once before. So, I got an email:
"I've just come over to Germany, and I don't understand why there are two flush buttons on my toilet? I'm afraid to ask anyone!"
Believe it or not, I don't know if the Germans invented this or someone else over here, as many Belgian toilets have two buttons too. The answer is very simple....it's a water-saving feature. You use the little button for "small jobs" and the bigger one for "larger jobs"....how neat is that? Now not all toilets will have this, but at least you know what it is! Also, some public toilets will not have a button at all, but a lever on the floor or underneat the seat (for your foot)....look for it if you don't see anything above the toilet.
