The Hebridean writer Finlay J McDonald's childhood anecdotes relate to similar jape being played in houses in thirties - pre indoor loos etc where a 'gazunda' was commonly provided - at least for older females.
A tin of Andrew's Liver Salts emptied into the potty at lights out had the obvuios effect when his Gran used it - much chaos!!
Finlay's father however found the empty tin and did 2+2 =. The boy's backside smarted for a week!!
