Posters tell Welsh University students how to use the toilets

Posters have gone up around a university campus instructing students on how to use the toilet properly. Swansea University says it has produced them to help address cultural differences. The posters include images showing students what they should and should not do.

Some students have called them ridiculous but others say they are a good idea to help keep the toilets clean and hygienic. The images on the posters show a drawing of someone standing on a toilet seat with a red cross and another with a figure sitting correctly with a green tick.



It asks students to ensure used toilet roll is placed in the toilet and to make sure they flush it properly for the next person to use. A university spokeswoman said: "Swansea University is a multi-cultural campus community and the informational posters were produced, for use in both male and female facilities, to help address cultural differences that were unfortunately causing damage and hygiene issues.

"The information was produced in conjunction with the International College Wales Swansea (ICWS) and displayed in key areas around the campus. Since the inception of these posters, the situation has greatly improved in the affected areas."
