Which way are you supposed to sit on a UK bidet? Do you have to face
the wall or do you face the room and have to reach behind you to
operatet the taps? Neither seems convenient.

Depends on what one is washing and the design of bidet. What one
might call traditional UK water engineers were very concerned about
the things. The less useful ones that are like low level basins
didn't concern them too much, but the ones with submerged water
outlets caused much sucking of teeth and talk of contamination of
water supplies. If installing the latter, make sure it is connected
properly, as there is a risk of contamination otherwise.

And if you are connecting the bidet directly to a cold mains supply, please
make sure it has a regulated gate restriction in the supply pipe, not just a
stopcock. Mains water pressure in most parts of the UK at such close
quarters of a bidet, can remove a layer of skin before one gets the chance
to stand up.


Could it remove any other parts ? :-(
