Mourning the loss of full height urinals

[malumbu]

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.

Some pubs have got rid of urinals altogether so that they can have unisex facilities

Try the Chiltern Fire House

Full height and filled with ice and a glass splash screen

Very nice, but you'll have to spend more than a penny

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.

Good sign seen in a US bar lavatory, presumably to avoid the wet floor issue: "STAND CLOSER. IT'S SHORTER THAN YOU THINK."

Of course someone on here is taking the piss

Maybe try aiming at this....

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.

Sigh kel

When are you going to learn the difference between boys and girls toilets.... Or are you still trying to work out how we sit in a urinal ! (Ewwwwwww)

On a recent trip to Norfolk Lavender in Heacham, the urinals were, quite literally, buckets!!

Properly plumbed in (as a novelty) I hasten to add!!

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!

I was just confirming my recollection of the victorian urinal at the Princess Louise pub in Holborn, when Google served up this site.

I think that's malumbu's Friday night plans ruined...

[malumbu]

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.
