Reading is top toilet habit
Reading, sending text messages and chatting to friends are among the things Brits do most when on the loo, a survey has found.
With the exception of the intended uses, reading is the most popular toilet activity with 39 percent of us taking books, magazines or newspapers into the littlest room in the house.
While it was not highlighted in the survey it is thought many people keep a copy of Kerry Katona's autobiography 'Too Much Too Young' in the loo ... in case they run out of toilet paper.
21 percent of those quizzed in the 2,000 person survey owned up to both sending text messages and chatting on their mobile while 18 percent ponder their next meal and six percent say they 'meditate'.
The survey was commissioned by charity Tearfund to highlight poor sanitary conditions around the world ... laughing at the unpleasant habits of Brits is just an added bonus.
Mari Williams, Tearfund's Water and Sanitation Policy Adviser, said, "It's scandalous that such a large amount of people still don't have access to basic sanitation, something we in the UK take for granted.
"We're asking people to campaign and call for urgent action by governments to address this failure. It's time world leaders wake up to this problem and produce a global plan of action to tackle it."
