From C.M. Hampton
C. Kennedy writes about the notice to those who want to stand on the toilet at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge (Letters, 17 June). Perhaps she has forgotten that in the Third World most people use the toilet in a squatting position. Worldwide, this may be regarded as the norm.
As one of the minority who prefer to sit, I for one certainly do appreciate it if the seat is first lifted by those who wish to stand on the toilet.
