In reply to:"When I pulled the long cord to flush.... I was pleasantly surprised by a good drenching from the water above. Ahhh the memories "I bet that was a bit of a shock! I couldn't help but chuckle when I read that...

As I said above. What the French call "Turkish toilets".

If memory serves, I think you can put toilet paper down them.

I just downloaded the "World Technology Podcast" with Clark Boyd #106 (BBC/PRI/WGBH), and their lead story is about the toilet: "Tech Podcast #106 talks toilets. Just how important is toilet technology to civilization? We'll talk to the man who's written a book about this very topic. ..."The book, W. Hodding Carter's Flushed: How the Plumber Saved Civilization, is about the importance of sanitation, sewers, and toilets are to civiliziation.- - - - -Two years ago Michael Szymczyk wrote a novel called Toilet.There's the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets Paper on toilets from their Web site...yes, it's a toilet paper.)The Bog Standard Web site ("Promoting better toilets for Pupils"). Fixed your code, Steve - Ineligible

Ive only ever used proper toilets in the UK and abroad. In the UK you poo strait into the water, spashback is rare as the poos tend to come out quite streamlined so its like someone diving off a diving board as opposed to someone doing a bomb.When ive been abroad ive used toilets where you poo onto a shelf type thing (spain/florida), i was told it was so you could check ya poops for worms or something, personally i didnt like it coz part of the satisfaction of pooing is the plop in the water as you can hear weather its a baby or a beast coming out ur back end.I dont think you get the old school toilets in the UK anymore and is probably against regulation to have a hole in the floor in a commercial establishment, some older properties have the toilet in a different building from the main property but any building built in the past 70 odd years has a normal toilet, full plumbing and electricity and central heating :S

You mentioned Thomas Crapper, and I happened to find this back in the Chit-Chat thread on 1/14:"Thomas Crapper didn't invent the toilet, but was an English plumber from the late 1800s who held nine patents for plumbing products." In case you're wondering how a toilet works...
