Mourning the loss of full height urinals

Not strictly one for the blokes as I am sure that many ladies know how useless we are - weeing on the floor or on the seat/bowl.


I haven't worked out why so many pubs have got rid of proper urinals - which deals with the above issue. Further the silly little units also spray back. Try weeing next to some one when you are wearing shorts, and you will see.


Here's some proper ones

And no I have not been drinking.

I remember many years ago being in a bar in Barcelona and at the end of said bar was a huge mirrored wall.


When you went to the gents the mirrored wall was in fact a one way mirror so you you could watch the punters in the bar below whilst having a pee but they couldn't see you. Quite bizarre.

This is and has always been a massive victory for hope over reality/ coolness over pragmatism - the average blokes' toilet hygiene (not to mention aiming power - especially when mixed with some booze) is at a standard millions of miles below the minimum threshold of 99% of women.

The second one of those looks like they may be the marble toilets of the Philarmonic Pub in Liverpool. A fine looking boozer with the finest of gentlemen's lavatories.

It definitely is the Philharmonic. Beautiful pub in a beautiful building!

Disappointed that is took so long to name the Phil in Liverpool. And no one has mentioned the Princess Louise in Holborn.


I should have also mentioned the Morpeth on Millbank that used to have wonderfully polished brass and copper pipeware. Now gone following the dreadful refurbish. A final fave was the Anchor in Abingdon by the Thames that had outside gents toilets. Now that was a proper pub. Now sadly gone, as with all Abingdon pubs they have gone generic/


I was also going to start my piece by saying (as I had had a snipe at men's hygiene) that on the odd occasion I have walked into a ladies toilet by mistake you know immediately as they dont smell of wee.

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
