They should simply be banned for poblic loos.

Just for public health reasons if no other.reason.

Some I have seen in my S.E.A. trips were apalling.

They would have yobbs using them and spreading faeces all over, just for laughs.

Nope, no place for squats in western style civilisation.

At home, no probs.

I have wondered more than once why they have not updated the squat toilet.

They could at least add a tank & make it flush-able no?

They are - most have the old-fashioned overhead cistern and pull-chain.

Wouldn't do to have an integral system, due to the poor aim of many users.

Wow I have never seen one with the overhead tank.

I am either way up country or back in the city so I guess I only see the extremes

Depends which country, I guess.

The squat toilet is proof that some cultures stopped developing 1400 years ago...

I don't understand why that should be something that private business owner should strive to go back to...seems a little...backwards.

1400 years ago most people just shat in the sand.

Polite company want behind a bush (or behind the tapestries if indoors).

Could also stick yer bum out of the castle windows (arrow-slits), but an arrer in the arris was not infrequent.

This is a stoopid idea - just shows how the PC people are influencing under-developed minds.

I've spent most of the last couple of weeks in hospital, there was one block of eight toilets for the entire ward. Seven were squatters, and there was one real sit down job..... guess which one always had a queue. Speaks volumes to me.

That's why there was a queue Thaddy, talking toilets are a rarity !!!

Did Thaddy forget to mention it was a mental hospital?

He went in because he kept hearing voices - it was only when he was inside that the toilet started talking to him.

There was a bigger queue at the shower, though. That was singing - Aida most popular.

Supposedly MCOT are thinking of a sequel to "American Idol" - Trumpeting Thailand Toilets is the working title.

They'll be flushed with success if that comes off.

Thaddy with his "ear to the bowl" could take a prominent seat in the great cubicle of like !!!! No more prospects going down the pan, Thaddy is floating to the top !!!!!.............. Hooooragghhh

Love this repartee.

What my old MSN chat room thrived on.

Innuendo was great too.

This is toilet humour - so it's "Out-you-endo" surely?

At least Its secular. There's as much Shiite in it as any other religion.......

I heard tht on Sunni days you could see Makkah.

But It's rude to leave the door open................

And the problems of building toilets in Saudi - cannot turn your backside to Makkah.

So in Jeddah and the Eastern Province we used to place them North/South.

But when moving to Rabigh or Yanbu, best East/West.

Try explaining that to the architect, based in Houston or Baltimore, when this screws up his design completely.

In the OP - has the orientation of the toilets been checked? Maybe they are facing the wrong way and can therefore never be used?

Did that in Libya, once. Learnt my lesson. We had to rebuild an entire block of toilets, together with all the plumbing and sewage. Cost a shit-load of money!!

Shit happens

But why always to me??

I have been reading the Daily Mail article from the OP again.

It seems that the "Cultural Conciousness" lectures are a regular feature of many of Rochdale's citizens - at least from the indigenous population.

Are there "Cultural Awareness" lectures also for the immigrants - telling them what is expected of them if they wish to live in harmony with the local population of Rochdale?

Or is this just one-way traffic?

Of course it is, PC crap.

Needs flushing down a squatter.

Try an unhealthy dose of delirium.......it's good for the sole. (no typo)

Welcome back Thaddy, pull up a stool !!

Hope you're feeling better ( so much for Harky who said you were just a flash in the pan ).
