Anyone used those 'wave your hand near' ones you need in some public
toilets?

Ever been to Florida ? - they seem to like siting them close to your
backside and they flush randomly if you take too long :-}

Scares the crap out of you the first time it happens, but at least you`re
sat in the right place :-}

What about the continental squat types? (Like a shower tray, with two
pedestals you stand on and a big hole where you make your deposit; for those
who've never had the pleasure to encounter such a beast.)

In France many years ago I came across one of these which had an automatic
flush (as on urinals). What's more when it flushed the water level came up
above the pedestals.


Hardly "continental", I've never seen them in Germany, Belgium, Holland,
Austria etc.,

Much more hygienic though - no contact and washing your arse with water
is much cleaner than scraping it with a bit of yesterdays Sun
