A better class of khazi
Sorry to bring the level of conversation down. But it struck me that the Brits have got very good quality loos and they beat the cheese eating surrender monkey continental design hands down.
Ie they flush hard and rinse around plenty, usually no need to get out the toilet brush.
Thankfully this seems to have been the most common design used in NZ and Aus.
On the European continent, the most common design has that big pan which leaves your stools on view, so that the sausage eaters can check if they need to go to the health farm or not. Horrible to use when you are used to Mr Crapper.

did I really say that????!!!!
Much better than the hole in the ground ones - never could get the hang of them and ended up washing my feet... eugh!!
Then there's the Greek ones... what can I say? You aren't allowed to put the loo roll down coz it might get stuck in the small pipes, so you have to put it in a little plastic basket... argh!

The NZ'ers are so proud of their NZ toilet manufacturer Dux they have started a chain of bars named after them (Dux de Lux, Christchurch and QT) http://www.worldsbestbars.com/city/C...h/DuxDeLux.asp
Somehow I don't see myself going out for a great evening at The Magnificent Crapper Niteclub.

Does every Kiwi have to do the patriotic thing and crap in a dux just like it is un-Australian to not have a Hills Hoist.

Decent enough pans buts what with these flimsy plastic seats?
No good when you're standing on them trying to peer into the neighbours bathroom
And while I'm on the subject. Privacy locks. The design is a bit weird and 'cos the handle is a bit dodgy, the wife spent a good 20 minutes in the en-suite (without a good reason if you get my drift). I thought I could hear someone calling my name but the rugby was on
