WTF! Is wrong with the French!?! (1 Viewer)

[scotjimland]

the other question here is what were they washing their arses with ? First suspect is the hand basins

crossed my mind..didn't dare ask

 

[Theonlysue]

Just to be contrary to popular views; when I am camping I would rather use a public toilet than the one in the van. Saves having to do the walk of shame and all that messing with the cassette.

Its not a walk of shame, its a fact of life

@davidathomas42
Guess you won't be visiting Morocco anytime?

In the UK the "non sitters" would take plastic bottles into the cubicles to do their washing ... then leave them there for someone else to remove them.

Made it back to a C&MCS yesterday after the ferry.

Met by this. Clean. Not Broken. Warm Room. Very present as these places go.

We seem to manage all that ok so why not the French.

Appreciate the different views but no Seat is just wrong.

As for Morocco I guess if I go there I’ll def be using the vans. I used to fly in there a lot when I was a skipper for Ryanair and I had a rule of keeping the cockpit door closed at all times to stop the stink from the locals drifting in. The invention of the shower has not made it there yet I suspect.

We've lived here a while now and there's a few things that niggle me.

But it's their country and their rules. I have to fit in with them, not the other way round.

Yea but you don’t have to be filthy.

In Egypt a couple of years I had to use the toilet at a museum we were visiting. On entering I was handed 2 sheets of toilet paper. I was a bit alarmed as I'm usually half a roll man.
When I exited the attendant asked me if I liked his toilets and held his hand out. Yes, I was tempted!

 

[Yorick]

If a couple of loos without seats upset you so much, maybe camping and touring is not for you.

Personally I would rather have a ceramic toilet with no seat = I quick wipe around with a sterilising wipe and the job is done, no where for "contaminants" to hide. What is so wrong with ceramic .... it is easy to clean, it is not porous, there are no hinges, pegs, stand offs or anything else to hide filth. Is it really a question of some folks have a botty so delicate they cannot support the cold touch. I have seen the underside of toilet seats and most are not a pretty sight but if you prefer the germ infested, bacteria storing seats .... good on yer

 

[DL42846]

Give the French a chance, up until recently the toilet consisted of a hole in the floor where you stood over it. I could never understand how to take a crap without doing it in your pants and trousers.

Where I fly from we have the old "thunder box" It is a wooden box with a toilet seat, so previous posters will be happy. Oh forgot to say .... we don't have water so at the side of the box is a tub of sawdust, you do your bizzyness and lightly cover it with sawdust ..... how does that grab yer dearies?? Bugger forgot the rest. On the INSIDE above the door there is a wasps nest .... so no rapid movements.

I would have thought that a rapid movement would be exactly what was called for, in that situation...

At least it had a seat

No no. Happy enough camping and touring. Just think a toilet from the 15th century is pointless. Thankfully I always have the vans

At my Gran`s, we had a "Two Holer". Originally it went on the dung heap, composted and was put on the land!. Later on the "Night Soil" men took it away in a "wet" truck, which went on the farms. In the USA, especially in State and National Parks, there are a lot of "vault" toilets Basically as I understand it its a huge hole and anaerobic compostation takes place naturally.

All this talk of toilet seet's think you self lucky sum of the places i have worked,

There are millions of refugees and displaced persons around the world who would love the opportunity to use a loo with or without a seat.

They only have to stop tribal fighting, and wait 300 years, just like we did here?.

With a shared Long Trough? flushed from one end. Wait `til the stalls are all full, light paper at the "Flusher" end and retire mediately, with luck you can hide out until "knocking off" time without getting beaten to death!.

Strange, this British obsession with toilets. Other countries just seem to use the toilet and get on with life.....

You'll find that lots of German toilets are designed with a "slipway" so you can take the opportunity to exam your business before you flush it away.

 

[Peter and Julie]

You must go to some s**t holes I’ve only seen that in Liverpool where they have been nicked

Oh! What a surprise a Liverpool knocker.

 

[Gorse Hill]

Skem not in Liverpool, anyway it was a joke, however they do nick them and it’s still a s**t hole

Blimey. All this over a loo seat. Just imagine if something bad happened.

If it did one can simply flush it away?

Growing up in South Africa in the 50s and 60s had several outdoor "dubs" as we called them. Just a deep hole in ground with a wooden seat with a hole cut in it. (The last bit is essential, I promise).
There were a number of occasions when you found yourself sitting there musing only to find you were sharing the dub with a ringhals (spitting cobra) or other snake. Talk about a natural, rapid acting laxative!

[Wee Bold Davy]

They don't have toilets at my work, they reckon it affects production.
We've got these instead
