    England seems to traditionally have the toilet separate from the house and for some reason the bidet trend never caught on

    Uh… wut?

        I live in the UK and nothing you’ve said here is congruent with my experience. I don’t recall ever being in any building whatsoever that had no indoor toilet, including pubs.

        there was

        In the past. A long way in the past.

        This must specifically be like, row homes, right? Where it’s too tightly packed to fit a new room.
        It’s not like houses here in sweden are brand spanking new and yet they all have toilets nowadays even if some of them are ancient.

      This what I’ve been told- I’ve never been to England, my understanding is that back in the day this was the way especially for suburban and farmland, and that that’s why many old Australian houses still have the toilet separate. Obviously this doesn’t apply to dense or modern areas.
