You know those transportable toilets? Before arriving in the US I'd only ever seen the kind with a barrier atthe bottom of the bowl which then opens when you flush. In America they only have these things called "Honey Buckets" which are a toilet seat over a 30cm wide hole down to a pile of excrement. I never let my kids use them because they're a fall hazard, in addition to being incredibly disgusting. I'm wondering if they use this kind anywhere else in the world?

On that Australian one, what's that little platform on the bowl in front of the seat for ?
Is that some kind of nut rack ?

^^^ NO, it's for easy access for personal cleansing. Some toilets have also wide rear cut out. Handy for those who find reaching difficult.

There is nothing more terrible in this world than the terrifying glisten of a drop of urine in the gap of a U shaped toilet seat.

I had my first experience with the US kind a coup,e of weeks ago at the Nassau Coleseum. It was the most putrid thing. Luckily it was dark and I couldn't see anything. Couldn't believe there were women lining up for these things.
