I am fed up with the UK type toilet and would much prefer the German

style one. Does anyone have any idea where I could buy one for my

plumber to install? I have various health problems which necessitate

checking my 'leavings' which is impossible with the UK type loo. Also my

grandson recently managed to infect me with threadworms. The chemists

said "so are there worms in your stools?" to which I replied, "how the

hell should I know. It drops and disappears under the water. Should I

plunge my hand into the water to retrieve it?" Personally I think the

German style is a must for people with children and those who are

proactive about our health. Perhaps the UK's poor cure rates for things

like bowel cancer comes because we cannot check our stools, meaning that

by the time pain is noticed, the disease has progressed too far to cure.

I check the poo of all of my animals in order to ensure they are

parasite free and have no blood or anything in it, so why do humans not

do the same?


Because it stinks.
