but they might be looking into it

That would be the one :-)

I thought that was " a hole has appeared in the road".

Well if you are interested in the mechanics of the earlier design

The SheWee has to be the greatest product name ever :-)

The message from "James" contains these words:

You might well find the younger females using the urinal -- American females frequently do in universities etc.

The message from geoff contains these words:

Several companies still do.

Backwards???????????

The message from Andy Champ contains these words:

Actually, the urinals were for real

I'm sure they were, but the icons are not 'female'.

And they are they not "girly pink" as the caption says.

It shouldn't be allowed.

Have you seen the shape of German toilets?

And apparently, krauts now sit to piss

yes

Enough info, I hope

The message from Andy Champ contains these words:

Yes, of course I have.

Designed so that solid matter, deposited from a seated position, lands on a shelf which takes up the rear part of the pan. This is deliberate, as it was traditionally considered appropriate to examine that which had come out of one before it was flushed away. Or perhaps flushed away, depending on the consistency of the said deposit and the power of the flush intended to flush it towards the front of the pan and tence to the sewer. Accordingly urine directed from a standing position has a tendency to splatter here and there.

However the "nicht im stehen Pinkeln" command probably owes rather more to the middle-aged, moustache-wearing German "Hausfrau" than to the nuances of German toilet design.

The message from geoff contains these words:

Rather puzzling, actually. American females go forwards. We trust that the stream landed somewehere other than on her feet.

Unless, of course, your English female urinal-users were depositing something other than urine
