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.

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)

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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
