Toilet upgrade ?
Shopping centre bosses approve 'Asian squat toilets' following cultural awareness course
From next week, shoppers in Rochdale who push open the cubicle door expecting the reassuring sight of a modern, clean lavatory could instead be faced with little more than a hole in the ground.
Bosses of the Greater Manchester town's Exchange mall have installed two as part of an upgrade costing several thousand pounds after attending a cultural awareness course run by a local Muslim community activist.

Re: Toilet upgrade ?
lol, that brings back memories of a school trip to France in 1979, we stayed in a school and the toilets were like that. OK if your aim was good but if you swayed a bit the consequences were yucky!!

Actually, while I wouldn't call it an "upgrade" (the toilet is the same, it's just sunk in the ground), having been in a few of these style of toilets on Holiday (and not just in tourist places), I'd say you are no more likely to encounter a crap covered floor than you are in any toilet.
I think it's actually supposed to be cleaner as no part of your body ever touches the toilet.

If people want to believe everything they read and constantly post material from the racist filth hate filled toilet tapper that is the Daily Mail that's up to them. I for one wouldn't want them to stop as it shows exactly what type of person they truly are.
At least in this instance if they go in there with the DM they do have something useful to wipe their bums with on hand.
So list ot not, I say rock on

Nothing to do with any approved list. When the Mail produces an article that is honest, decent and truthful, I will say so.
They haven't yet (since the paper started from what I can see), so I am not holding my breath.

Re: Toilet upgrade ?
There is absolutely no need for these. they don't have them in their homes so there's no need to have them out on the streets.
the morons who come up with these ideas need shooting. they really do.

Re: Toilet upgrade ?
Is everywhere going to have to have several different sets/types of facilities of one sort or another to cope with the myriad of cultures? Where does it all end?
