Toilet sizes AUS vs USA

Crucial stats. The standard Aussie toilet (well at Dalgety St, according to Pete & Romy's precise measurements) are:
  • insert rim of seat/shooting area: 270mm in length , 240 mm in width
  • long diameter/length of seat: 420mm
  • short diameter/width of seat: 370mm
  • height of bowl: 420mm

Rom and I speculate that American loos will be 10-20% larger to accommodate those obese botties. I think the 'shooting area' may be the same to prevent people from falling in, but man when I went there the toilets seemed huge and low and wide. Not like those awesome Japanese loos. Not at all.
