How come some students who attend university still need potty training?

Maybe now they can produce an instruction leaflet for men on how to direct their penis so the urine goes into the toilet rather than all around it!

Proof that you don't need to be smart to get into university

Swansea just got cosmopolitan - and as the article points out, we all need to be told how to use a different countries facilities - however disgusting we might find them. I used to be horrified by the bins full of pooh stained tissues in Greek toilets in the 70s, but by the 90s they were mostly gone. Likewise the vanished pissoires of Paris - squatting on a toilet in a bar late at night in Paris in the 80s or 90s was one of the penalties you had to pay for enjoying the culture and general joie de vivre.

You may have also seen in the news yesterday that schools are toilet training students. Parents no longer do. It's a nanny state. The less PC part of the answer is the number of recent immigrants at Swansea. Most countries aside from western countries use toilets in the floor to squat over and not sit on. So some will squat over the toilets at Swansea and hence the dirt from their shoes and boots. This is the reason for the instructional diagrams on how to use western toilets.

At the company where I worked we were replacing toilet seats on a regular basis. We put up notices in their language about not standing on the seat . Finally after consultations we made a separate one which was a hole in the floor with a foot pad either side and a flexi-hose from the water tap. that seemed to work ok. I saw the same design in a monastery on the island of Crete. We were a multicultural employer with a good record on employing people from all over the world. We even employed some English people. LOL

Ahh, i've always sat with my head facing the cistern, i see the error of my ways.

Which Culture ?

you wonder what sort of upbringing these kids have.

Its Swansea Uni, if my memory of Welsh Universities serves me correctly there are plenty of Rugby Lads who like to drink until they are too drunk to aim and stand up straight! This sounds like a tongue in cheek way of reminding them what to do if they find themselves in such a position!
