Manchester shopping centre installs 'squat loos' for Asians
London: A shopping center is installing 'squat toilets'
for Asian customers in a bid to raise cultural awareness. According to The Sun, two of the 200-pound loos, which users crouch over rather than sit on, are being
put in alongside traditional loos. The hole-in-the-ground toilets, sometimes known
as Nile pans, are being installed in both the ladies' and gents' at the Exchange
Centre in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. They are usually despised by British tourists
abroad. But centre bosses decided to include them after learning that members
of the Asian community prefer them as more hygienic.
