Councillor Alroe - prankster at heart ...

In last Friday's Chronicle, Councillor Michele Alroe apparently made the following suggestion:

"Cr Michele Alroe proved her water moderation by suggesting council also encourage homes with old single flush toilets to place a brick in the bowl."

Do you think she meant "a brick in the cistern"?

Will people all over Toowoomba take the good Councillor's advice and break their toilets by dropping a brick in the bowl? Will they seek compensation?

Even Premier Beattie will now offer dual flush toilet rebates. Toowoomba City Council's approach - no rebate - just use a brick.

Some witty souls would suggest that several 'bricks' get placed in the bowl eat day ...
