The Germans have an interesting attitude to water closets, leaving a shelf for examination. Before you scoff, read Pepys' diaries. Should someone succeed in flushing it whilst one is seated, it takes the next two toilet rolls to dry off.
It's true about the shelf... But ours don't have a bidet effect - if that happened, we'd be swabbing out the loo after every number 2.
