View Full Version : Outside toilets
We went out for a meal last night and on the way home right in the middle of the city center we saw these outside toilets for men, (see pic) now I know it is better than them doing it against a wall but to me is rather bizzare :erm:
What do other people think and has any one else seen them yet?
What's wrong with a good old fashioned bush? :disturbd:
Gone are the days of a kiss and cuddle in the toliet then ;)

Anyone have a pic of what the womens look like? :naughty:

In some towns they have some which come out of the ground at night
Like gothic teenagers you mean?
there are loads around manchester.
they are locked up during the day but I think its great to try and prevent the good ol' up the side of a wall business!
Another thing how do you wash your hands when you have used them???? :disturbd:
This is a better picture of them

The phone boxes look more inviting... But I think I'd rather pee on that moped! :erm:
Interesting idea though they do look a little strange and out of place.
It could be worse, you could be going to this kind of toilet....
Here's a picture of a public toilet in Switzerland that's made entirely out of one-way glass. No one can see you in there, but when you are inside, it looks like you're sitting in a clear glass box.

I guess this is the police/councils new money spinner!
A camera at every one, so they can have a fixed penalty fine for indecent exposure.:D

They've been around for ages in other citys - infact they've been popping up (http://society.guardian.co.uk/localgovt/news/0,8368,823586,00.html) all over london on a nighly basis for a Longtime!

Asked why the Urilifts were aimed only at male revellers, a spokeswoman replied: "It would appear this is a predominantly male problem."
Oh yeah like women want to squat in the open street.Of course it's a male problem..they are the only ones who can do it standing up.:rolleyes:

Ask Spurs.
They are made by a Company called Elliot Loohire Linky (http://www.loohire.co.uk/php/product-catalogue/four-bay-male-urinal-portable-toilets.php)

I wouldnt really want to pass by and see men either. Toilets should be inside a building. Those outside toilets make the streeets look awful.
I think men and women should be in a private place when going to the toilet, not in full street view.

Does a nice hand pop out and wash it for you?

Supposedly, these are more hygenic. However, if you had smelled the ones opposite Charing Cross station in London on a Saturday night (or indeed, any night), you would wonder exactly HOW they are more hygenic.
Apparently it would be more hygenic to wash your hands before, how true this is i dont know.
I saw them once at an outdoor event in England, which was in a field. That was a portable one, which was just a king of huge drum with a few holes in the side. However I've also seen them for many years in Amsterdam.

Well, I think the main problems with the ones outside Charing Cross station is that (as far as I know) they are rarely (if ever) flushed.
I think they hold about 400 litres and are taken away and emptied :erm:

I feel sick now, thinking of the smell of ages old stale pee :sick:

Judging by the state of some pavements on a Sunday morning they would be filled up in 2 days. :rofl:
I'd hate to be the one that has to go and collect it and clean them.
Those people are very brave indeed !!!

Drawing straws to who pulls the plug out :Yikes:

I don't understand why they don't use porta loos instead then no one can be offended and men and women can use them

Or get the YTS to do it :devsmoke:

Porta loos require more staff.

Probably also work in Docklands Hotel kitchens :D

You don't smell anything because they have a chemical solution in the main tank.

A mate of mine cleans the toilets out, he's been doing it for 5 years, he said it's the best job he's ever had, he gets a brand new truck with a tank on the back, he just pops the pipe into the toilet then sucks it all out.

You've obviously never been past the urinals I am referring to then. They are supposedly plumbed in, and are not chemical toilets.
And, yes, they do stink of stale pee.

Yes,they are a novel idea and a good one. Ideally they should be placed somewhere slightly more discrete and it saves our English drunks from ****ing in the street every night. It also prevents deviant homosexuals from having dubious liasons in "normal" public toilets.
Slightly offtopic but I'm not sure this was worth a new thread:
Theres something that makes even less sense than an outdoor toilet. Something given away on a gameshow earlier today (I forget the name of the show):
An outdoor.... FIREPLACE!
Think about it..... :confused: :confused: :confused:

Not so daft, ;) these days gardens are no more, they are rooms and having seen some which include an outdoor TV or refrigerated bar, a fireplace seems rather normal.:Yikes:

I don't get my bits out in public. I always use a cubicle with a locking door. As a gay man, I'm very aware of the strange men that hang about :D Plus I'm shy :blush:
I was thinking about this whole toilet topic the other day and came to the conclusion that do we really need toilets in public areas these days ?
Every house has a toilet, and if you go out to a bar or restaurant they have toilet facilities there.
I know that when I go out, I never need to go to the toilet in the streets.
Most of the toilets in the town centre where I live have become places for drugs and dodgy people to hang out so best avoided.

Thinking after hours though, if you're on your way home and need the loo? What do you do ?
Exactly, you need a toilet in the streets really...
We do need toilets in public places. If we don't have them, people will just "go" in the street.
Also, as Druchii says, if you happen to be out after hours, need the toilet and can't wait until you get home, what do you do? Go to the local night club (assuming there is one locally)? Most bouncers I know of wouldn't let you in just because you needed a wee, and it could get a little expensive if you have to pay an admission fee.
Ah yeah I see your point on the after hours thing.
I guess they are needed after all then.
