Scott's Hut.

I was watching a very interesting program on BBC4 last night called "The secrets of Scott's hut.", all about the ill fated expedition to the Antarctic, the last thing I expected to get was a laugh, but I did. The presenter was spending some time in the hut with a couple of people from New Zealand who take care of the place. "One of the questions I am often asked, is where do we poo when we are on these trips." He says. "Well in order to keep this place in pristine condition, we poo into a bag, it is then sealed and stored and eventually sent back to New Zealand, an expensive process." Talk about spending a penny!

A man's got to do, what a man's got to do.....(even in Antarctica)...

Re: Scott's Hut.

That's very true Barry, but with a whole continent out there, and nobody looking, who's going to shit in a bag?

Re: Scott's Hut.

Sorry I mssed that. I have the dvd of the film scott of the antarctic which I love. They were very brave men to do what they did in those times with no contact facilities like we have now.

Re: Scott's Hut.

They were indeed very brave men Val. I love that film too and watch it often, I never get tired of seeing it.
