Answer 1

You bet they can. The British can solve any problem they put their mind to. We have some rather funny inventions in the States as well. Fortunately, the British (for the most part, as we both have our crazies), don't judge an entire country by them, or we'd be in serious trouble! Bless the British and Irish!

Funny, I could swear there was a RAY N who was English posting nasty things about the U.S.?

What a coincidence, folks! "This Yank" seems to think he's American AND British?

Be on guard about this, folks, I AM an American and I've been seeing a lot of this on our site. I'm here today to point it out and let you spread the word.

What a silly idea, as if our alliance, our friendship, even though not that old (200 years, bless you all for your patience with our young country, your "offspring", if you will) could be damaged by FREE SPEECH! They don't understand how much deeper the honor of the British and Irish people is! I see the U.S. posters laying into such nonsense more and more as they catch on to such silliness, pretenses about being "British" or "Australian" and acting like they are still in a grammar school playground.

Don't believe it. Leave the bigotry behind. Pass the world.

EDIT:
After your kind and intelligible response to my answer I feel fully vindicated. Even a spell-checker can't hide rudeness and lack of ethics, assuming someone uses it. Enough said.

Answer 2

# circa 26th century BC: Flush toilets were first used in the Indus Valley Civilization. The cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro had a flush toilet in almost every house, attached to a sophisticated sewage system.[citation needed]
# circa 15th century BC: Flush toilets were found in the remains of the Minoan city of Akrotiri.

1596: Sir John Harington is said to have invented 'The Ajax', a flush toilet, for Elizabeth I of England

1775: Alexander Cummings invented the S-trap (British patent no. 814?), still used today

1777: Samuel Prosser invented and patented the 'plunger closet'.

1819: Albert Giblin received British patent 4990 for the "Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer", a siphon discharge system.

1852: J. G. Jennings invented a wash-out design with a shallow pan emptying into an S-trap.

1857: the first American patent for a toilet, the 'plunger closet', was granted. Better late than never I suppose.

1860: The first watercloset was installed on the European continent and was imported from England.

1880s: Thomas Crapper's plumbing company built flush toilets of Giblin's design, so he did not invent them only build them.

1980: Bruce Thompson, working for Caroma in Australia, developed the Duoset cistern with two buttons and two flush volumes as a water-saving measure.

All of the above was taken from Wikipedia, and allowing for the very poor showing of the Americans within this timeline, it goes to prove that they have always had difficulty dealing with their sh1t.

Answer 3

Despite urban legend, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet (the myth being helped by the surname).

However, Crapper put in effort to popularise it and did come up with some related inventions. He was noted for the quality of his products and received several Royal Warrants. The noun "crap" was in use long before he was born, but no longer used in Victorian Britain.

Answer 4

I say old chap,don't you know this is a myth? Several myths have grown up around Thomas Cr*pper because of his association with the W.C.People say:
He invented the toilet.
He invented the flushing syphon cistern.
His name is the origin of the slang word ‘cr*p’.
The facts
Myth 1: Thomas Cr*pper invented the toilet
No he didn't!
In fact, no single person invented the WC. Thomas Cr*pper was an entrepreneur, inventor and sanitary engineer in the late 19th century. He made and sold sanitaryware from his business in Chelsea. His company was awarded no less than four Royal Warrants between 1886 and 1937 for supplying sanitary products to Royal Households. But he did not make WC bowls. Many ‘Cr*pper’ WCs were made here in Staffordshire by firms such as Thomas W. Twyford and badged with the Cr*pper & Co name. This was a common practice in the industry.
Myth 2: Thomas Cr*pper invented the flushing syphon cistern
No he didn’t!
He did improve upon it, and popularised the ‘Water Waste Preventer’ cistern that used a syphon flushing action. He successfully promoted it to water authorities and it became the standard in British cisterns.
Myth 3: The slang expression ‘cr*p’was taken from Thomas Cr*pper's name
This is partly true.‘Cr*p’ was an old English word for ‘rubbish’. It disappeared from use in the 16th century, but early settlers took the word to America where it later became slang for ‘faeces’American soldiers visiting London in about 1917 saw cisterns with ‘CR*PPER’ stamped across them in large letters.They found this highly amusing and began calling the whole WC suite ‘the Cr*pper’.
The influence of American culture has caused the word ‘cr*p’ to return to the language in England. Today in both Britain and America the WC is sometimes called the ‘Cr*pper’...

Answer 5

It's an urban myth that Crapper invented the WC.

The unsung hero who invented this device was Sir Itsash Ithouse. Flushed with his success, he had a 30ft working model of the WC built for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Determined to be the first puller of the giant cistern chain, he unfortunately lost his grip, fell into the pan and was washed out to sea. This disaster led to his name being expunged from history.
