All's I see is a Toilet seat?
Designed by a woman perhaps?
Even when they do stay up, a woman will knit a cover for it so it wont!
?? What are we supposed to be looking at?!

Presumably the seat connects to the pedestal through the backpiece of wood; throwing the hinge position forwards and allowing the raised seat to end up resting in a stable position against the cistern .

Surely on all well designed systems it rests in a stable position anyway?
You've not seen TMH's previous post then.
We've seen a pic of the possible solution but we haven't seen a pic of the actual problem . Can't see that this one is much different from what I have or any others I have seen except mine has two hinge blocks and this one has a wooden block . What I'd like to know is why the face of the cistern ( the problem one) is so far forward relative to the toilet bowl that the seat won't stay up .
Exactly.
Wasn't mine, the OP was Gareth. 'Toilet seat not staying up.'
========================================= Maybe someone mixed without matching - wrong cistern for the bowl.
Cic.
So this post is the solution to Gareth's problem ....or do you have a similar problem ?
Anyway it would have been nice for Gareth to have posted a pic to explain exactly what HIS problem was re the toilet seat .That might have explained things a bit better .
The message from snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com contains these words:
Designed -- or mismatched -- by a woman, presumably :-)
Though I understand that some women (though none of my acquaintance, AFAIK) use a standing position -- and in Germany men are exhorted to do the opposite. "Pinkeln im stehen verboten!" Life is endlessly interesting.
More likely to have been changed for an unsuitable cheap Chinese ersatz replacement from a shed.
Andy would have had a thing or two to say about it I'm sure.
Chinese toilets don't have seats do they ... %-|[

The message from Derek contains these words:
Chinese toilets are just a hole in the floor, with, if you're lucky, a hose to squirt any overspill in the direction of the said hole in the said floor. If they're VERY posh they've got a proper ceramic hole in the floor, complete with moulded-in grips for your feet.
15 years ago it varied if you where in a western tourist hotel they had "normal" toilet bowls. But most public loos, loos on trains and places where the chinese went they were squat ones. Sometimes porcelain, sometimes just a trough cast in concrete with water flowing down it or just chute out through the wall into the paddy field.

What more do you need ?
Is there any truth in reports that Chinese pigs are fed on human excreta?
Just got to watch your keys,cash and wallet don't fall in to the s*it ..lol...Messy business getting them back . lol
The best public one I've used in China was one Sunday morning in a public park. A room with about 12 stalls, each one enclosed on three sides with a 600 high wall and simple rectangular opening in the bottom. There were quiet a few guys using the facilities while smoking, chatting with their neighbours and making phone calls. It was a very social event.
