How much more should we give in to the immigrants?

It really is annoying me now. I thought Cameron might stop all this cr@p, excuse the pun. And something about giving people with loads of kids, great big houses while we pay for them with our taxes. Grrrrrrrrr.

Before you get your knickers in a twist over this, read the other link, it's a privately run business, so none of your "hard earned taxed wages" have gone into this at all and as such the owners can fit whichever bogs he so wishes, suspended from the ceiling for all I care!

[sara3]

there are supposed to be health benefits (re bowel issues) to these "toilets".

[ChuckFickens]

I want toilets suspended from the ceiling now!! swinging toilets would be cool :)

you think anyone voted for Cameon in the hopes that he would lay down the law about squat toilets in shopping malls? I'm guessing not. I've used such loos in Japan, China, Greece... they used to be typical of France, but I've never seen one there myself. They are also healthier than regular loos.

B00, do you know somewhere I could get a suspended one? Sounds cool

[B00]

Yeah, heard you were into swinging Chuck ;-)

[B00]

and you too jno!

[237SJ]

Has anyone used one of those things? I have. OK as long as you aren`t wearing a long dress! I don`t have a problem with it. In Africa and India people used to wee in the river until us Colonials came along and made them use a china bog so now the situation is in reverse, I don`t really see the difference.

this is what I've got in my shopping mall

Ooooer jno, what kind of sites do you visit? When i clicked your link, i got a very stern "forbidden" message!

[boxtops]

I've used these in the MIddle East (and some of them a great deal less savoury than the one shown in the pic, but there they usually come with a hose attachment so you can clean yourself afterwards - I see no hose with this one! so presumably they are also providing toilet paper. However to be honest I have also used the stand-squat toilets in France years ago, so this is nothing new. Damn sight easier to clean than traditional toilets.

[237SJ]

boxtops I think the hose is because when Muslims pray they have to wash themselves and that is why the hose is in the loo.

tut, you must have a very censorious computer, B00. Try this

237SJ, I think Muslims usually just use fountains outside mosques for washing before praying. Hoses in loos are mostly used for cleaning the other end.

[237SJ]

jno. My understanding is that when a Muslim prays, they wash their face, feet, and hands.. Don`t want to be too graphic, but if said Muslim person has a sex life they wash their "bits" as well before praying and that is why the hose is there (they wouldn`t want to do that in public would they)?

[jno]

you could be right, 237SJ, but I would have thought they could do that part of it at home.... unless of course the bits in question were not used at home...

[boxtops]

Can I clear up the bit about washing before prayer.... you don't have to do your private bits, not at all before praying. Pre-prayer washing (wudu) invoives hands, face, nose, ears, head, arms to the elbows, hands, feet and ankles. Since most people wash in communal basins in the mosque or in the receptacles outside, you certain wouldn't do your private bits. The hose in the toilet is most definitely as an alternative to the Andrex - you can get 'em with a spray attachment too.
