Poor effort. Trolls have to be much subtler than that to get a good
response.

No need to carry your own, this isn't 1950
washing facilities ?
WOW, for yourself or your clothes?

earth closet now that is a neat euphemism, if only we knew for what it
stood.

Most of the squaters moved out to the American west some time ago, but
from the sound of this you could probably use a sitter.

On trains, so-so--clean at the start of the day, much messier at the end
of the day.
Public places vary a lot, but truly squeaky clean toilets are rare.
> lavatory paper available ?
Usually.
> washing facilities ?
Plain water and a hot-air dryer, usually. Sometimes a bar of soap or a
liquid-soap dispenser.
> clean conditions or earth closet ?
Cleanliness is not as good as I'd like it to be.
> ratio of squatters to sitters ?
Mostly the latter, except in old public buildings.

Even in the toilets in prison visiting rooms. I can add that in these
visiting rooms you have a choice, sit or squat.

they advertise?

Yes, those are very strange!
If you want to be really "propre," you rinse with a bidet before using
the toilet paper to dry yourself.
> ... but have you ever seen a shop selling what they advertise?
Every grocery shop in France sells toilet paper, usually Moltonel or
Lotus, and almost always pink or white in color.

About all I ever see is Lotus and Moltonel, but there are a few other
brands that one sees in larger shops.
