In our Hampshire home the Chamber pot was always referred to as The left-handed sugar bowl. Have had many people tell me they never heard that one, maybe its something my Dad brought down from his childhood in County Durham. Regards, Pam in Arizona.

Actually we were told that you could get left and right handed pots and thought it was a wind up! But apparently its true! They had one on Antiques Roadshow a couple of years ago and the chap explained the difference which I forget now! But some of them are quite valuable now so is the old stone hot water bottles!! We always called it the Gazzunder meaning Goes Under (the bed!)
