I can't keep my balance in a squatting position. Never could. The
worst place for me was in Africa where the local people have such
grace and poise that they never thought of providing anything for us
mzungus to hold on to. This thread has brought the nightmares back
again!

Fairly sensible scratch conversion of a squat toilet so it can
be used by somebody who's not double-jointed.

JGH

Nothing at all when you're young enough and fit enough to squat.
However, suffering from a back problem (discs) and also knackered knees
make them an absolute friggin nightmare for me. Hideous hateful
things!!! :-@

I once very nearly lost a belt pouch containing lots of money and a passport
down one of those, when it slipped off the undone trouser belt. After that
I made sure the pouch was on a section that wouldn't come loose by mistake.

Or who's shoes are not already brown...

Squat bogs in Chinese trains scare me with all the rattling around...


The worst one in the world was at the Chinese Opera in Beijing. It was
a strip of concrete with a hole every few feet and a liberal scattering
of turds. I suddenly lost the desire to go.


Nope, the worst in the world are in India where you dont even get
walls at all, you get to **** on open ground in full view of everyone.


I bet the Indians laughed at you almost as much as the members of

That didn't bother me as much as the corrosion around the hole in the
floor, the corroded away chute and seeing the track ballast whizzing
past...

It is a valid point about getting old though. Balance, is just that
we always have chairs or similar when we don't want to stand. Resting
squatted down is not something we do and we are generally more portly
than is really good for us.

I recall using one as a teenager in France, when I was caught
short with the runs. Not much fun, and no toilet paper either.

Actually, I just used my handkerchief.


So did I, after tearing it into a couple of pieces.

There I am, taking a dump in the Louvre, one of the great cultural
centres in the world, and there's no bog paper.


I would be tempted to draw a picture of a nice full toilet roll
on the wall, Banksy-style.

Maybe in theory. In practise they are no such thing. Besides, how can
taking a **** in your trousers be described as "Cleaner and more hygienic"?


Do you remove your trollies when you sit on a pan?

That's certainly true in China - especially for open air rural "concrete
