Series of Subtle Differences: #5
What would Freud say about British “loo” architects?
Consider the evidence vs. their American counterparts:
- 95% of them use electric hand dryers rather than paper towels
- 80% of them have fully private stalls (no opening at the top or bottom of the “throne door”)
- 50% have two-gear toilets (as discussed in a previous post)
- most public ones, including every one at the enormous Paddington train station in London charge 20 pence … and they still do not have paper towels.
I notice these things when every other guy is just looking downward.
