Hot topic in the Mikey household

I think we are a small cross section of the population and I think we got a pretty consistent British response to the concept.

I wonder where our disgust/apprehension/fear originated, it must be something to do with our climate cold and wet weather. Bathing in rivers and streams was not a daily activity, it was far too cold, and we didn’t make sweat lodges like the Scandinavians as we had little snow to run out and roll around in. I wonder when the flap at the back of long johns started. The desire not to bare all I think is part of our historical psyche.

I think it’s funny, the Japanese have a fairly similar humidity level to us are much more reserved than we are but, have fully embraced the shower toilet. I’m not sure what to read into that.

I don't have  disgust/apprehension/fear of a shower-toilet - just seems a massive waste of money and over engineering to me.
Now the Japanese toilet that incorporates a hand washbasin in the cistern and uses the water to flush the toilet seems a far better idea to me and one I have actively looked into.
