It Appears We Are Getting A Retractable Urinal.

[boohoo]

I would refer you to table 10 in British Standard BS6465-1:1994 (Sanitary installations—Part 1: Code of practice for scale of provision, selection and installation of sanitary appliances).

For a public house or bar with a capacity of 600 persons, you would require (assuming equal number of male/female customers):

Male: 2 WCs, 5 urinals and 3 washbasins.
Female: 13 WCs and 7 washbasins.

I challenge you to fit 13 WCs and 7 washbasins into the same amount of space as 2 WCs, 5 urinals and 3 washbasins.

This might be a suggested requirement but how often is it actually put into practice. I don't go to that many places with 13 wcs. And why do blokes only need 3 washbasins???

 

[boohoo]

In many, perhaps the majority, of such cases, the blame can be pinned on the actions of an unladylike Lady.

Is this woman as Eve the temptress?

very medieval attitude...

 

[boohoo]

Fuck me. Hand washing stuff? You ladies have it easy.

If a bloke finds an open public convenience it's virtually expected that you have to jump a ravine of piss and go without any working hand washing/drying facilities. Same goes for a fair few pubs.

I'm never gonna hold a blokes hand again...

 

[tarannau]

And why do blokes only need 3 washbasins???

Because it's easier to get to the sinks when people aren't in front of the mirrors?

If it is not put into practice then you should complain to the relevant local authority for failing to properly enforce building regulations.

I think it is probably because they only use them to wash their hands in, rather than general faffing around.

There's a certain central London pub that had Molton Brown goodies in the ladies... and a terrifying torrent of piss to circumnavigate in the gents. Honestly, we may be able to go quicker, but it's often a necessity rather than a life-changing bonus.

It should also be noted that although a token WC cubicle is generally provided in gents' toilets in pubs and clubs, it is rare for it to have a seat, toilet paper or properly functioning door.

I have better things to do with my time...

I don't faff in the ladies.

True - of the two cubicles in the gents at the Oxo tower only one had a door which was no good to us ladies looking for somewhere to pee.

 

[quimcunx]

This is, in principle, true.

However, even the most gentlemanly Gentleman may occasionally be driven to drink through no fault of his own. In many, perhaps the majority, of such cases, the blame can be pinned on the actions of an unladylike Lady.

(((teuchter)))

*looks sternly at the unladylike Lady who drove teuchter to drink*

 

[Gromit]

I had to use one of those open air urinal things near Embankment station.

Look I'm not from London and planning a journey is more difficult I am a gentleman.

I have to say it wasn't very discretely placed. The angle, placement and lighting left nothing to the imaginations of passersby. Some of which were a large group of ladies who went ew, although one stopped for a better look.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Because it's easier to get to the sinks when people aren't in front of the mirrors?

Yep, personally I think mirrors should be removed from ladies loos

 

[tarannau]

Just because you can only see the top of your head in most of them...

 

[Ol Nick]

Why not make Morley's retractable because most nights it's surrounded by people pissing on it?

 

[moomoo]

How does a retractable urinal work?

When does it go up and down?

 

[toblerone3]

In Guilldford it operates between 10pm and 3am.

Oh I see. Thanks.

Do people stand on top of it as it is rising up?

 

[toblerone3]

That is something the designers of the Uri-Lift have not thought of I think. Maybe a fearsome man in a Hi-Viz vest who controls the key to the lift will appear and chase away all such miscreants.

 

[spanglechick]

a retractable urinal?

are they taking the piss?

 

[teuchter]

Oh I see. Thanks.

I was wondering if drunkards ever pass out while using it, and spend the next day trapped underneath the pavement.

Experiment!!!

Experiment!!!

Are you volunteering?

don't be silly.....


*examines portable penis*


nope... don't think so..

You don't need to urinate. Just pass out and regain consciousness a few hours later. Even girls can do that.

Don't you mean retractable penis?


I don't think we're going to find any willing volunteers. Perhaps we should just get a Lady to drive teuchter to drink then put him there once he passes out.

 

[Crispy]

Brilliant! At any time of night, if I feel the need to watch someone piss, I can just look out the window
Not that it'll stop anyone pissing on the front door anyway

 

[gaijingirl]

look.. can you all stop discussing my penis please...

 

[teuchter]

look.. can you all stop discussing my penis please...

You were the one who mentioned it first.

The company that makes them has a video which is meant to be serious...

Very prescient of them to have the voiceover made back in the 1950s.
