I think the toilets were made in Britain. Yes, I know there is a lot of British stuff in there, but there is also quite a bit that has been basically looted from other countries during our colonial period.

Oh for sure, I was being tongue in cheek. I do think they should make a system for returning things stolen that would be appreciated more where they came from (I’m fine with guarantees of quality preservation and public display, but I think that’s as far as can be justified). We really can’t justify keeping things that we couldn’t buy today because they mean more than money to the people we stole them from.
