Bidet or not?
With the other thread about showers versus baths I thought I would bring up the subject of the bidet.
One thing I have noticed when viewing Spanish properties is that you know a Brit developer has re-formed a bathroom when you see that there is no bidet, even when there is plenty of space for one.
I'm currently having my bathroom in Spain re-formed and have included a bidet.
What do others think - Personally I think bidets are a great idea but us Brits seem to have issues with them.

IMHO they are essential if you are in the campo where you will undoubtedly have a pozo negra or bio-whatsit where all the outlets go.
Too much loo paper bungs the things up and stops the biological process working, so using the bidet cuts this appreciably. It can add a year or two onto the interval between emptying (if old-style pozo) and save money that way. Only option is to see if you can train one of those sweet little golden labrador pups to eat the stuff instead of just playing with it........

bidet or not
No question. At the moment we are moving the washing machine from bathroom to kitchen to make room for a bidet. Most women I know love them. As to the hose pipe..saw them all over Indonesia bit never tried to use one..not actually sure what they are for. Bidets do make sense for the campo peteroldracer.

I complete the 3 S's every morning at the same time on the dot. I have an extra shower or two during the day or before we go out and that's that
Why would one need to squirt a jet of mis-aimed water up ones crevace for no reason
We have A bidet in Spain by the way but it is only used for marinating legs of lamb and suchlike We had last time we were over a resident Gecko who lived in it..........If I meet anyone who admits to using a bidet I always think the worst..... i.e. bad nether regions
These yuppie non-needed contraptions are virtually unheard of in the UK, and B&Q have stopped ordering them in
I'll stick to my inverted shower head and fabulous constitution

I'm with you Kenny, regular as clockwork, good job i don't sleep in.
We keep a couple of spare toilet rolls in ours, handy being next to toilet, then you dont' have to scrabble to the cupboard for a new one, or shout for the other half to bring you one.
So the only time the lid gets lifted is to retrive the spare.

Re: Bidets
A lot of things available in a foreign country do actually have an English name equivalent, e.g. ARROZ - RICE. What iis the English name equivalent of BIDET?
