Warehouse installs European-style squat toilet because foreign workers 'kept breaking the loo by standing on it'
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.
