Lets not get carried away chaps. This has little or nothing to do with the Asian community, Muslims or foreign dark people imposing their ways on our society. It's more about the idiocy of the shopping centre management and the consultant who has no doubt extracted a large fee and is now pissing himself laughing.

Ironically on my two last trips to India I noticed that squat loos are diminishing in number as the country modernises. Also, most aspirational Indian households would only ever consider a Western style "sit on" loo.

Finally, as someone else pointed out, it probably should be called a "French" loo.

Reminds me of a sign I saw in a toilet in Malaysia - "This toilet has been fitted with sitting facility for your pleasure."

Dont knock it too much. Squat toilets are credited with little to no incidence of hemeriods/piles in Asia, whereas Europe suffers from it big time.

As long as you dont have to stand in st I dont see the problem. If a chunk lands in your undies, just flick it out

The French call them "toilettes turques" - Turkish toilets.

I learnt all about this on a wee month long drive down to to west Africa as you do, now there is one thing using an African spec public bog & another squatting down in the Sahara Desert admiring the lovely view

However using those French style bogs I've never got the gist of & if your not used to it beware of the underpants!! And also if out in the desert as such beware of the stiff curler's that dont readily fall over if your a bit close to terra firma

haha every campsite in europe had these 20 years ago, need to watch your binge drinking - i think this is where the drunken term st faced came from.

Tons of them here in Thailand, and sometimes bum hoses too which are much cleaner than toilet paper. I still prefer the sit down ones though.

[stillen]

now a sit down with a bum hose sounds like the future

I think the Japanese are way ahead of you.


God knows what Rochdale's immigrant population would make of that.

That's what I've got. Livin' the dream!

@ all the froth mouthed bunkum being spouted in this thread.

Rypt, keep it up chief, your ardent buffoonery here and in the mumsnet thread has put a smile on my face today. Shine on you crazy diamond.

Oh.

As they are so low, the gap under the door and between the cubicles would be too high. Seeing the contents of your neighbours' bowels hanging from their sphincters would not all be buttercups and dandelions.

Two factories I worked at in the midlands the toilets were unuseable.

Asians would squat on the seats which meant most were broken and covered in shoeprints but the bigest probem was lets just say their 'aim' in case people are eating.

The dirty fkers shat all over the seats? Disgusting.

Odd. To be honest I can't understand people getting in a twist about using a "Western" toilet just as much as I can't really understand the terror of squat toilets... It's hardly rocket science either way!

Any one who has traveled to France, will recognise them same hole in the ground toilets in the lay by rest rooms. Its not just an Asian thing.
