MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
All the toilets i have ever seen in this country have a small amount if water in the bottom of the bowl, yet in Canada all the toilets seem to have a shallower bowl with a much deeper pool of water in, this then fills the bowl up to the rim and then drains away completely when the flush is pressed. Anyone know what these sort of toilets are called?
I'm sure there will be a couple of 'funny' answers on this thread, hopefully with a helpful answer in there too...
What I know: Sit, $hit, wipe, flush and wash your bloody hands!
Yeah cos if you've got worms or something nasty you could transmit them to other people and that's not nice.
Ernie Lynch knows a lot about toilets. Well, he seems to have quite an interest in them.
They're called siphonic pans because they siphon.
What about the eastern european type. The ones with a 'viewing platform'
Whats that all about?
To check for bottom worms, DJ.
and to prevent splash back.
Used to have that* style of bog in the UK in the 70's I seem to remember. I was always fearing that they would overflow when refilling 🙂
* the OPS's version not the perve viewing platform ones.
All better than the legacy French version 🙂
Squat thrust do they still have them in France

Mind you if we weren't so bloody British and introduced them to our towns and cities then our streets might not be awash with urine so much on a Friday/Saturday night...
Saw a bloke at Liverpool St station Thursday evening; sat down in the middle of the concourse, he'd vomited between his legs and was sat there in a right state. All suited and booted. Ah, don't it make yer feel proud to be British, eh?
(Stands, and salutes while National Anthem is played)
Good thing about squat pots is that you don't have to touch anything, which is an advantage in a public toilet scenario.
well said ELF
Alas you are bang on right
@Elf LOL
Don't fancy the squat position Troutie, bi difficult to read the newspaper in that psoition.
British Loos and sewers - we are so lucky compared to some countries.
Squatting is best in public toilets. The problem occurs 'cause Brits try having a crap whilst standing up. Squatting is a more natural position than even sitting down.
I've no pros with the squat solution but it will be a right pita going to France from Scotland every day for a 5 minute job...

I put my feet up on the kids stool to simulate a squatting position even though I'm seated.
(When I say the kids stool, I mean the thing they stand on when they piss all over the floor).
They have those stand up, open, mens urinals in both Manchester (Piccadilly Gdns?) and Soho, London. Probably other places too.
We stood at a bus stop in Manchester, amongst loads of drunken scum bags, and over the road men were peeing in public.
The GF was not amused.
We were there for maybe 20 minutes, and I thought I was going to have a fight 3 times - this was at 9pm in the evening, with obnoxious youths staggering around.

It's nice to hear that today's youth are getting drunk earlier........early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise, as they say.

I'm sure with a bit of DIY ingenuity you can get round that problem.
Who needs bogs? For me the best kind of morning routine is digging a small hole and squatting contentedly for a few minutes while the larks fly above and the sun rises over the valley.
(The Scottish version: dash out of tent in full waterproofs, hoof a hole in the sodden ground, drop kegs and nip one off as fast as possible before the local midge population gets to hear it's feeding time)
