Toilet tells users when to flush

A "talking toilet" which tells users when to press the flush is to hit the UK.

It contains a three-minute speech chip with a recorded set of instructions.

The recording could also be used for reminding people to wash their hands - or to play commercials and give details of special offers.



Called the Clean Seat Matic, the device is made in Hungary for a Dutch company.

It will be marketed at restaurants, stores and public buildings in the UK and is priced at £600 per unit.

The firm describes its design as being extra hygienic because the toilet seat is covered in paper which replenishes itself after each use.
