Karen,
Seriously, don't worry about it. It really won't be an issue.

I reckon though that the squatty loos would have a full length door. We aren't that different form the people across the water you know. I bet they hate em too.

I've only seen one in Perigueux in the Dordogne and didn't use it :shock:

*politely put mode*
I've never seen one on the mountains, but we do make the odd refreshment stop where the facilities are, I've found, quite respectable and I've never been so desperate as to go to extreme measures.
*end politely put mode*

The only 'hole in the floor' toilets that I have come across was in ADH recently. It was the ladies toilets in Les Bergers center. They had full length lockable doors I am happy to report! :thumbup:

I've seen alot of these in Serre Ch.....they are ok when you get used to them. Didn't think i'd ever come arcoss them in Europe until I went skiing in France. I first used them driving across Russia, and trust me the one's I found in France are alot higher standard. I still have nightmares about one's in Russia!

1. Carefully drop sallos and any under garments you may be waring

2. Hook your arm through your sallo braces so they do not flap behind you or it could end up messy.

3. Slightly squat at 45 degrees.

4. Remember right arm holding the sallos braces and left arm behind you against the wall or system pipe

5. Now you should be at the correct angle for a successful number two's

6. Mission accomplished :lol: :lol:



Wickers, you put your heart & soul & a whole lot more into that post. Brilliant.

IMO not that clever as there's no mention of how you would hold & read a newspaper :roll:
