Asian "Squat" Loo
Discussion
There were squat loos in the factory that was the first job I had after leaving school in 1984, as most of the operatives were of Indian origin. I wondered why there were always milk bottles, half filled with water, next to them - and was totally shocked (at the time), when told what they were used for..
I love the comments on the article
Why would the taxpayer be paying for these? More scaremongering?
Some moron said:
Right, so if I go to a shopping centre in Asia, upon visiting the loos can I now expect a 'western pan' next to the nile pans???
What a disgrace. Toilets are toilets, why are we constantly having to pander to ethnic minorities needs???
Pathetic, IMO, I don't see the problem.What a disgrace. Toilets are toilets, why are we constantly having to pander to ethnic minorities needs???

Still, it saves them leaving footprints on the seat.
... at teh last place i worked at we used to unscrew the toiled seat on a designated trap, always entertaining when a collegue of more "local" background decided he needed to hover over the bog.Wouldn't mind but they had sitters and squatters!!
No problem with using them except for my calf muscles not being flexable enough!!!

Squatting followed by cleaning the st off if your jacksie with water is a hell of a lot cleaner than smearing it around with scented toilet paper, however culturally shocking some people find it.
Can't we do it Japanese hi-tech style, where you have a normal loo and then some water that shoots up your arse?cheddar said:

Some of us have developed to the point where we can wipe our arses with toilet paper without it geting smeared around. Ask mummy for some more potty training and then have a think about the hygiene consequences of dry paper where your fingers don't touch your own st versus room temperature water and fingernails. . . . . . If you've ever seen the punishment for squatting on a normal toilet bowl when it shatters and cuts them to ribbons...
Terrible but I can't help but think 'that's what you get'. Dark I know, but if folk used toilets properly it wouldn't happen.
Damn straight they're not going to put western style toilets in over there. Changi airport has both but then that's obviously an international hub and on the world stage.

I got that shock at (Bradford) Uni, never did ask or figure out exactly how you would go about cleaning your ass using water - without getting it all down your legs and all over the floor.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
