Hospital Staff Toilets


Here we have the men's staff toilets at an unnamed NHS hospital. Pretty rough, hey? People think the patients have it bad...

Note how there's no flush button or lever in this picture. I thought that maybe it had just been cut off by the photo angle. I was wrong. The MLP reliably informs me that most urinals do not have a flush button. Instead, they have timers that regularly flush water down the back of the unit every five/ten/forty-five minutes.

I had no idea.

Cineworld West India Quay


Blokes' toilets, Cineworld West India Quay



These are the bloke's toilets at Cineworld, West India Quay. Classy, hey? I particularly like the Warning and Wet Floor signs alongside the hazard tape.



Apparently, the hand-dryers are conveniently located right beside the urinals, so when it's busy right after a film they have to squeeze past a guy peeing in order to dry their hands.






And these are the ladies'. Look, we get carpet and everything since we don't pee all over the floor. Pity we can't throw stuff in the bin properly.

Vicarage Road - Men's Loo


Here's our very first toilet on display. The men's toilets at Watford Football Ground.

Apparently the metal-horse-trough look is quite a common approach in UK stadiums and pubs. I had no idea they were so... utilitarian. In films they always have grubby porcelain and individual units. I suppose disgusting stains show up better on porcelain.

Sorry about the poor quality. Our official Men's Loo Photographer (hereafter known as the MLP) had to to use the hit-and-run photographic method. A football ground's urinals during a rugby match is not the sort of place you want to be caught taking photographs.
