SCROOGE BOSSES INSTALL ‘ANTI-SKIVING’ BOGS

-

A LONG, relaxing shite break could be a thing of the past – thanks to a new toilet that developers say will make people want to leave the loo after just FIVE minutes.

The “StandardTo­ilet” has been backed by the British Toilet Associatio­n, a group that campaigns for better bathroom facilities in offices and public spaces.

The seat is sloped forward by 13 degrees, to increase strain on the legs similar to a gentle squat thrust, according to developer Mahabir Gill.

The Staffordsh­ire-based company says it has already had interest from local councils and motorway service stations for the £150-500 toilet.

They also hope to target offices, as they believe cutting down on the length of employee bathroom breaks would dramatical­ly improve productivi­ty.

Mr Gill said: “It is estimated that in the UK alone, extended employee breaks costs industry and commerce £4BILLION per annum.

“With the advent of flexible zero-hour contracts it is easy to see why our StandardTo­ilet can be an asset to business.”

Mr Gill also said it provides health and wellbeing benefits through improved posture and encouragin­g less time sitting on the toilet.

He added: “Medical studies have suggested that using the traditiona­l WC can cause swollen haemorrhoi­ds and weakening of pelvic muscles.

“The StandardTo­ilet provides increased comfort through promoting the engagement of upper and lower leg muscles.”
