Now the toilet wheel has been discovered

[daisychain]

Reminds me of a definition I read years ago of a bidet , "Something to use before, after and if the water pressure is high enough, instead of"! JB

Ha ha. Love it!!! xxx

Sorry guy's but I do not think you are all getting the full picture. When you read this it is quite understandable why many cultures and religions find using the left hand offensive, They do not just rely on the jet of water but also the left hand. This is a good explaination;

Both types of toilet have a spigot and/or a container of water for washing the left hand after use, because the bare left hand, not toilet paper, is traditionally used to splash water on the bum to cleanse it. In the second photo to the right, note the small pipe and valve to the left of the commode. These provide water to the small white nozzle at the back of the bowl for washing the left hand after it has been used for splashing and wiping.

Many toilet stalls may be furnished with toilet paper, but it's traditionally used not to wipe but to dry your bottom and your hand after the splashing. Hands are washed with soap after toilet use.

The toilets being talked about here are the European type that are found in accommodations in icmeler.

There are no jugs or containers supplied in these toilets as they are aimed at holiday makers from tourists who mainly come from Christian backgrounds so wouldn't know the other significance of the washing.

This post though has generated a few laughs and moved on through other forums so long may it be of humour to you all.

I used the wheel for the first time this year, its fantastic. My OH says you'd have thought I'd discovered gold the way I raved about it.

Why can't we have it in this country, save on the toilet paper.
