Training in what?  "Want" or "need"?

 

Typical lack of information on the Fox News channel!

Amazing!  And look at all the instructions...

Are they the ones that wash and blow dry?

 

BUT

The photo reminds me of Roman loos...

Which is exactly what Roman loos were, a slave being used to apply the brush, in the form of a mop on a stick, so that you exited the premises ‘fragrant’.

Slaves aside (and I imagine your average Roman soldier would've had to sort himself out) the toilets at Housesteads are one of the interesting bits that survive. A stream flowing below the seats gave a flush, and a raised smaller channel of water in front provided a supply for cleaning. Might not be what we'd want to use nowadays but that's pretty good hygiene compared to a lot of history.

 

They found a Roman toilet seat at Vindolanda a few years ago.

IIRC the Romans were the first to use sponges, and they used them for *rse-cleaning purposes. 

And then put them back for the next person to use.

Kept in a tub of vinegar so they'd stay moist and pliable.

 

Nothing worse than a hard scratchy sponge!
