This Oyibo self! so na only them sabi how to use toilet?
Lloyds Bank has put up instructions telling
foreign staff how to use the loo, with details such as 'sit on the toilet - do
not stand on it', and 'please flush it with your hand and not your foot'.
With the help of diagrams, workers
are shown how to open the door using their hand, and are requested not to leave
toilet roll on the door handle.
The instructions, put up in Lloyds
Bank's Old Broad Street office in central London, give full instructions of
British etiquette in the lavatory, including 'The sinks are for
washing your
hands only - no using hand towels or toilet paper as a plug'.
Other tips including toilet-users to
throw used loo roll down the loo, rather than put it in a bin, but telling them
to do the opposite with plastic cups.
The instructions are there for
workers from around the world with different toilet habits. For example
in south America, it is common to put used toilet roll into a bin beside the
loo because few houses have sophisticated drains that can cope with loo roll.
And in continental Europe, squatting
over a 'hole-in-the-ground' toilet has been the norm until very recently.
