Some Victorian urinals had a small bee moulded in the porcelain - to aim at. Any guesses why a bee?


There used to be a pub in Aberdeen that had clear perspex urinals with tellys behind them showing football matches not involving Aberdeen.

I have seen the tv screen ones before. :lol:

I visited a pub, I think it was in Germany, that had a little subbuteo type goal attatched with a football hanging on a string. Great fun for aiming. :lol: :lol:
