so you are proposing censorship or just plain barring certain people from entering into a discussion
that is not an open forum

Now employers have to implement 'potty training' in the workplace.

So now some incomers are not even house-broken. YUK YUK YUK.

so can I claim for all those years in Singapore and Hong Kong where I had to use a "squat" toilet and not a UK style ???
the stress I had in working that one out on my very first visit

Have I somehow missed the switch from an EXPAT forum to a British Nationalist forum? People on here are now just complaining about anything foreign and not British.... It's absolutely ludicrous!

No, just approving the post I was replying to, and pointing out that to describe another post in this way or similar was not actually entering a discussion. (this is a discussion forum).

Possibly more people world wide use a squatting toilet than a seated toilet, nothing to do with 'potty training'. They are easier to keep clean, using one on a train though is not easy

In India they were the general rule, but people tend to get a seat one installed as they get older as their knees can't take the 'strain'.

More on thread topic a joke---
The spray of water connected to Indian toilets for washing the behind is in slang terms called by some a 'Muslim shower' as it sprays up instead of down (that is Muslims do things the wrong way round e.g. write from right to left.)

Cack-handed you mean ?

So what are you actually saying?

That because squat toilets are more widely used that it is something to aspire to?

It is a matter of choice, squatting more hygienic in some ways, public ones can be sluiced down easily. Some say they help prevent constipation!! Cheaper to fit no inner system to go wrong.

Sitting ones, more comfortable and as I said above an integral spray of water can be fitted instead of using a jug of water.
(Many in eastern countries think 'Yuk, Yuk' to toilet paper!!!! ).

My last girlfriend in Sweden who was slightly disabled had a bog with more controls than a jumbo jet, including a spray of water, adjustable for pressure and temperature followed by a powerful fan blowing nice warm air to dry off the backside after it had been washed.

I used to keep a book handy and sit there for hours,..... sheer bliss.

I remember serving in the Middle East and the "locals" used that very practice of standing on our loos and it was literally "sh1t all round the room tra la". You´re in the Middle East now lads, put your watch back a century! Mind you, I remember going to Spain, many years ago, in Salobreña and the loo was a hole with a couple of footprints either side.

Hey, it keeps 'em off the streets.

Imagine all the Spanish expat forums complaining about the British and their filthy foreign ways eh?

And all the parts of the world that must complain about our filthy habit of eating and, er, wiping with the same hand.

But it's Ok because we are far more important that the rest of them so eventually they will just come round to our way of thinking.... Our..... British Standards. (See what I did there? Genius!)
