I think the pee pods are a great idea. Many people probably disagree with them being out there like that, however it's really nice to keep the city from smelling like pee. Maybe it would be better in the long run, however, to teach the drunk people to pee on a storm drain--put targets or something on them. The ocean is large enough for that.

Where do the drunken women pee?

Good report Fart Poopie! Those Brits have really started binge boozing over the last 10 years and women are leading the pack so Goota Go Girl's question has a great deal of relevance.

Maybe they all have taken to sporting one of these.

Those are way cool. Much better than pissin on the street or someones doorstep. Why can't the US come up with cool shit like that?

I'm from manchester, and you can almost guarentee that the Second photgraph shown there will be the usual result of these 'peepods' being up in the city centre at night.

Only the Scum of the city would be using them in picadilly centre and bus stations.
The type of drinking establishments in picadilly are not to reputable to say the least, and are mostly full with load mouth, drunken yobs.

I expect to see streams of piss flowing from these things as they lay broken on there sides.

I would like to know the percentage of women vs men peers in this area of town. If it's equal or something akin, why would these things not be also made with pod doors that were hinged from the top for women?

bowlfiller`s right. I`m sure Americans are the same, here in Britain these peepods are just going to add to a good night`s drinking fun. Gangs of guys/girls will lurk near one of these, a poor drunk will start to take a piss then the gang will run out and push the pod over on top of the drunk. Endless fun will be had.

Girls can pee standing up as well GGG.

I discoverd these things when I was in Holland. I did not find any that were tipped over. Perhaps the Dutch are more civilized than the English?

I would worry about some of the ramifications of women peeing in a public format. I think that there would be more potential for gawkers and even sexual predators. A public ladies facility, would have to be entirely covered.

Heh. Street Tinkling. Doesn't that sound like some sort of competitive event at one of those Renaissance Fairs?

Quote: Dutch are more civilized than the English?

In terms of youth drinking, and boozing I suspect so, Britain as it stands has big problems in cities with the younger population getting completely legless at the weekend.

For the most part, its harmless fun, but then there is the small percentage who are violent, loud and trouble causing, and even though a small %, its still noticable in such a large population of weekend partiers.

well, we'll see I guess

Unless I'm mistaken, this binge drinking skyrocketed when the pubs started closing earlier. People feel obligated to get shitty before they are tossed out.

err, pubs close earlier?.?

Pubs have always in my life had a closing time of 11pm, clubs and city pubs/bars/clubs have been pushing further and further into that closing time to upwards of 6am, the average closing at 2-3am.

Ive never know anthing to start closing earlier, only later.

Binge drinking tbh is just a new term for somthing that has been happening for decades, people get paid on friday, get drunk friday and saturday, until the early hours.

Just seems that these days its covered more, and there are more people doing it.

you may be interested in looking at urinal.net
which has quite a number of urinals just for the ladies - most of them seem to be in the USA

This is a poop site. How about we invent a poopinal so you can poop faster and easier? I have NO clue how to get started, but I bet it would be fun. They could even have a bidet attachment!

We've enjoyed the comments on this page, but there's plenty more about portable urinals, festival urinals (and indeed, female urinals) in our forthcoming book: 'A Guide to the Urinal'. You can download pre-publication extracts from www.urinalology.net

Women should be covered up? HELL! Men should also be covered up using these things (or as they should be designed to do). Women (and little girls) should not be looking at men and boys peeing. Those men that like to expose themselves will want to use them for that purpose. so what if their backs are turned to the outside world. Still men should not be seen peeing in public since women aren't. Now if women are using devices such as P-Mate (and other funnel-types), then they should use these outdoor urinals like men. Women should prepare for these damned emergencies if they know they are likely to have them. They should not invade men's rooms (as men cannot invade women's rooms even for emergencies). Since women can stand up to pee, devices or not, they should be rebuilt with urinals. If some women are about to explode, they will use the urinals.

Women can use this one I see, after some careful scrutiny.

They can grab the top, do a pull-up, push their crotches to the corner, and unload into the triangle-shaped reservior. Perhaps pulling your ankles up and crossing them in good pull-up form would help. I could sketch a picture if you'd like, but I don't know how to upload them :(

Acrobatic peeing! As for pooping in there, you'd need some pretty good upper body strength.

I would never use one of those. Too easy to get your wallet lifted.

"Where do the drunken women pee?"

In a bar, otherwise there's this thing called HOLDING IT IN! Ha ha! The urinals were designed cause guys were just whipping it out to pee. Least now they have a place to do it in privacy. Girls can't whip it out thus should learn to wait. Sorry girls.

Judging by the look of the crowd in the first picture, I think the second one was probably taken five minutes later.

Arthur I dont agree with a word of what you said. Men should WAIT or use the toilets in the bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its not that difficult. Lazy men just want to be seen for some strange reason. Its discusting!!!
