Potty sculpture

Loo just won't believe what potty bosses at a bathroom trade show have done with 10,000 recycled toilets and sinks.

They paid artists to turn the things into a 100 yard long loo waterfall to plug their products at the conference in Foshan, southern China.

"It took two months to gather all the lavatories together but we are very pleased with the result. You can't watch it for too long though or you really want to go to the loo," said a spokesman.

Now organisers are to install the sculpture as a public art installation when the exhibition is over.
