A Japanese toilet seat is the answer according to Alex James
You probably remember Alex James as bass player in the band Blur or you may have come across him as foodie columnist in some of the national press. He has taken his love of food even further by producing artisan cheeses on his farm in Oxfordshire.
What’s all this to do with bathrooms you ask? When you hear that Alex James writes newspaper columns, you expect the subjects to be music, food, farming, festivals – but never toilet seats.
But in his countryside column in The Telegraph, he tells of his desire for a Japanese toilet seat! The man never ceases to surprise.

What’s so special…
… about a Japanese toilet seat? According to Alex James, this (almost literally) all singing and dancing version does everything you need. So after the he’s treated himself to one and believes it’s worth every penny of £350 he paid for it. I wonder what that is in Yen?
He reckons toilet seats have developed at a pace in this Asian country known for its technological advancements. James compares the pace to that of mobile phones – but no, this toilet seat doesn’t have one attached. Not yet anyway.
The one that he’s bought will fit standard toilets, but needs electric and water feeds, so it’s a little more difficult to fit than an ordinary loo seat.
