Christian Wolmar: Let's wipe out toilet paper | guardian.co.uk
Much explicit talk about wiping bottoms in this Guardian column.
Clearly, he needs to travel to Japan to really appreciate bidet technology.
Last Christmas, I saw a stall in a shopping centre promoting a Korean brand of bidet attachment to fit on top of an existing toilet. I don't think it was Hyundai, but I forget the name. Cost was around a $1000 I think.
Maybe environmentalists could argue that this is a good use for Kevin Rudd's "stimulus".
If they took off around the world, maybe it could mean a bidet led economic recovery from the decades of malaise in Japan (and now Korea.) Or perhaps Australia could establish its own bidet manufacturing plants, using all those left over car assembly line employees. (Suggested company slogan for a bidet start up: "Leading from the rear".)
Just trying to be helpful...
