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.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
