God Loves America

I forget so many things about America, but it all comes flooding back as soon as I return.

Like, why do American toilet bowls contain so much water in such a low-rimmed piece of apparatus?

It's not good for peeing. My legs always get splashed.



Are men meant to pee sitting down - is that what you have to do dear American readers?

I never noticed that bowls in the Europe or the UK have less water than ours... I'll have to look next time!

Miss Ginger pees standing up... you can always tell a real woman from a drag queen, because a drag queen will have makeup on the hem of her dress!

They surely do. You'll find the perfect example - clearly illustrated in too much graphic colour.

It's the state of the toilet as I found it on the hospital ward during my stay in hospital in August 2008.

But, it's not a pretty sight!

That's crap Britain for you.

Many Continental European countries (particularly Germany in my experience) have another kind of WC with a sort of ledge at the back where solid matter is deposited for 'inspection' apparently. There's a small lower part filled with water leading to the drain in front of the ledge. On flushing, the solids are flushed away; it all works pretty well in my experience.

I agree - toilets should be taller to prevent splashing. But short people may have trouble sitting down on them.
