And what to expect in hot countries, carpets?
In Spain carpets and rugs, those bacteria friendly floor coverings, which are the norm in the UK, are almost unheard of. And the UK tradition of carpet in the loo! And the worst of even the worst, those twee mats cut to fit around the toilet base, as far as I can deduce invented so men can dribble and spatter their urine as they please without regards to anyone else since it sinks to the bottom of the pile out of sight even if not out of smell... too lazy to aim properly, too arrogant to consider what is nice for others, and too insecure to sit down like a woman and direct their detritus into the correct place so as to avoid their partners having to wipe up after them as if they were still babes in arms dependent on mummy to wipe their bottoms! Sorry but I'll go with tiles any day since for me carpets are gross... and parents allow their babies to crawl around on them... Ugh!
And an interesting experiment. With the men's public urinals awash with urine everywhere but where it should be a Dutch local Council had painted, transferred or whatever, an extremely realistic fly in the centre of each urinal, and lo an behold the volume of urine outside the bowl dropped almost to zero as the men aimed their status symbols with its unhealthy ammunition to hit the fly!
