All's I see is a Toilet seat?

We've seen a pic of the possible solution but we haven't seen a pic of
the actual problem .
Can't see that this one is much different from what I have or any
others I have seen except mine has two hinge blocks and this one has a
wooden block .
What I'd like to know is why the face of the cistern ( the problem
one) is so far forward relative to the toilet bowl that the seat won't
stay up .

Maybe someone mixed without matching - wrong cistern for the bowl.

Designed -- or mismatched -- by a woman, presumably :-)

Though I understand that some women (though none of my acquaintance,
AFAIK) use a standing position -- and in Germany men are exhorted to do
the opposite. "Pinkeln im stehen verboten!" Life is endlessly
interesting.

More likely to have been changed for an unsuitable cheap Chinese
ersatz replacement from a shed.

Andy would have had a thing or two to say about it I'm sure.

Chinese toilets don't have seats do they ... %-|[

Chinese toilets are just a hole in the floor, with, if you're lucky, a
hose to squirt any overspill in the direction of the said hole in the
said floor. If they're VERY posh they've got a proper ceramic hole in
the floor, complete with moulded-in grips for your feet.

15 years ago it varied if you where in a western tourist hotel they had
"normal" toilet bowls. But most public loos, loos on trains and places
where the chinese went they were squat ones. Sometimes porcelain,
sometimes just a trough cast in concrete with water flowing down it or
just chute out through the wall into the paddy field.

Even when they do stay up, a woman will knit
a cover for it so it wont!

Presumably the seat connects to the pedestal through the backpiece of wood;
throwing the hinge position forwards and allowing the raised seat to end up
resting in a stable position against the cistern .

Surely on all well designed systems it rests in a stable position
anyway?

Wasn't mine, the OP was Gareth. 'Toilet seat not staying up.'
