Here is a automatic pay toilet, they cost 10p to use and they clean the whole cubical by itself (includes: Disinfecting the toilet seat and bowl, washing the floor and wall and then drying the cubical) and flushes the toilet by tipping it up and spraying water into the bowl.
These are very clean all the time. (James reported) |
| WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: |
Thank you for your post.
Wow, it sounds super automatic!
What happens on the person if he stays in this toilet even after the flushing? |

The square toilets are identified also in the former British colonies such as Egypt and Malaysia. Does U.K. have a tradition of the square toilets?? |

| This toilet has a rare high level bell siphon cistern, the bowl brand is Royal Doulton. A slightly more modern one by the looks of it. The bell siphon gives a very loud powerful flush, they are rare though. This was the only toilet cubical there. I've only ever seen two of these. (James reported) |
| WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: |
Thank you for your post.
A powerful flush is much better than a weak one which cannot push it away, I guess! |

Thank you for your post.
I would like to know which part was "cubical" ? |

| It's a urinal that was in the Ardingly Collegge which is famous school in the U.K. (inoue takanobu reported) |
| WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS: |
|
In Japanese or Chinese public toilets, we sometimes see this full-wall type urinal. Usually, a ditch is at a ground, but a ditch of this urinal is at a height of knees. So it may look like a sink. We need to be careful. And it seems to be made from a stainless steel. |

A very typical pot type wall hung model.
As this is in a modern British cuisine restaurant, the urinals are also modern-designed. |
