It’s the collection of little differences that I enjoy when I’m abroad, and this was a great reminder I was far from home. It was taped to a toilet cubicle in Uganda, presumably after they had to keep wiping mud of the toilet seat.

So, really, we’re just hoping that all Ugandans read basic English?
And I think that if it’s “Western” that means you straddle it, whereas on an “English” toilet you’d sit side saddle fashion? In case you’re still confused here’s some more about the difference between Western and English from about.com:
English and Western Disciplines:
After learning the basics of either style there is a wide range of sports you can try. Here are just a few:
Western:
Team penning
Cutting
Reining
Speed Games
Trail Classes
Pleasure and Equitation Classes
Roping
Trail riding
English:
Dressage
English or English Country Pleasure
Jumping
Hunting
Mounted Games
Polo
Hunter Pace
I hope that’s clarified Western toilets for all you Ugandans now.

I believe that most people in Uganda do read English. They are educated in English (as in British) schools.
