An expanse of water must be a few kilometers wide in order to show any noticeable signs of the coriolis effect.
Toilet, sink, and tub water spin in a direction determined by the shape of the bowl or the direction of flow (toilet) or agitation (drains).
Ergo, it is a folly to think you can tell whether you are in the Northern or Southern hemisphere by the way your toilet flushes.
