Toilet Replacement Lids - Warehouse installs European-style squat toilet because foreign workers 'kept breaking the loo by standing on it' - This Old Toilet - 650-483-1139

Continental: A squat toilet has been installed in a DHL warehouse in Swindon (file photo)

The distribution centre in Swindon, which transports goods for B&Q, has spent thousands of pounds on the new facility, according to The Sun.
Managers had previously installed signs instructing employees not to squat on the toilet.

 

A source told the paper: 'Staff have been fed up with the toilet seats breaking and workers leaving a mess.'

DHL did not respond to a request for comment.

Warning: Managers apparently installed signs instructing employees how to sit on the toilet

Squat toilets are rarely seen in the UK despite their popularity in many other countries around the world.
British tourists in France frequently complain that only 'hole-in-the-ground' facilities are available in restaurants and service stations.
And in some Asian countries, such as India and Japan, British-style toilets were virtually unknown until relatively recently.
However, squat loos may be set to gain in popularity in Britain, thanks to doctors who claim that the squatting posture brings health benefits.
Some medics believe that squatting while going to the toilet is a more 'natural' position, and could protect against disease.
