Air India confirms plane returned after plastic bags and rags clog toilets
Air India has confirmed that one of its flights was forced to turn around last week after plastic bags, rags and clothes clogged up most of its toilets.
The plane, which was heading from Chicago to the Indian capital of Delhi, spent several hours in the air before it returned to the US city.
Video clips from inside the aircraft showed scenes of confusion as passengers huddled around crew members who seemed to be explaining the situation.
The incident has stirred a lively debate on social media, with many Indians weighing in on aeroplane bathroom etiquette.

Toilets are only for the 3Ps: pee, poo + paper (toilet tissue).

3p? How long since it was just 1p, as in "spend a penny"?

I've been on flights with no toilets.
It did have a pee tube on one, not sure how the girlie's manage.

I've been on buses with no toilets.
It gets harder with age. Especially after a couple of pints at the pub!

Trains with the toilets out of action are another problem.
Boots sells adult-sized nappies for such situations.

To be pedantic, the "penny" you spend was 1d not 1p - claimed to originate from the Great Exhibition in 1851. As the coin mechanisms were mechanical, it would presumably be quite difficult to update - a mechanism taking two pennies would be a lot more complex, and 3d would be a big price hike.
