On this topic, I find it difficult to urinate in urinals in public toilets, so often end up holding on for the cubicle, which A) makes me look like I'm cottaging and B) can be fruitless as I've waited copious amounts of time for the present occupant to leave, just so I can wee! It was after this very situation that I discovered the upstairs loos at the Lyttelton. Pee-shy, as our US cousins call it. As for cottaging, do people still do that? Someone I knew years ago used to take a packed lunch with him. Made a day of it. Flask.. the lot.

I ALWAYS use the cubicle for urine We are in a developed country No need to wee into a basin Always use the toilet Whilst you are waiting for the toilet Elegantly loll against the wall perusing your emails Or bolder like me Make a phone call to pass the time

All this talk of cottaging makes me think of Jam and Jerusalem.

Doing pooh and wee
Releases endorphins
And as a doctor
MANY people are constipated
And suffer with rushed toilet habits
Poor diet
These should be things we enjoy and relish
And rejoice in
I am all for talking about it
Proper stool should be soft and snake like tube shaped and not require undue pushing
And partly this surely requires a nice pleasurable set up
I fail to see how anyone can have this in any theatre toilet other than the private disabled ones at various venues like NT and RC and Hampstead theatre
It's no wonder people are constipated and have piles
In fact Many of the children I see
Are badly constipated
As the school toilets are dirty
Exposed
And they avoid using them
Leading to really bad constipation
I mean missing school and attending A&E bad
I may write a play about this matter
When I was small
I used to play a story tape
Audiobook Whilst sitting on the toilet
To soothe me

Lol at you boys arguing - you should come over to the other side and stand in a real queue.....
Last time I went to Les Mis the usher came in and told us they were starting the second act without us and would we be ok in the dark getting to our seats!

Yes We can all hear the noises Plops And see the smears after At least my strong stream of urine clears their dried skids from the toilet pan Perhaps they should clean up after themselves If they are so considerate I wonder if their home toilet is left like that? And don't get me started on floaters There are usually excellent hotel toilets Around every corner in central London Makes theatre facilties seem like the zoo in comparison Just glide into the foyer Elegant and charming And all are welcomed

Perhaps, but sometimes I'd rather they just got out of there as quickly as possible.

O goodie, someone has started a thread on one of my favourite theatre topics. Before I forget there is a toilet on the left front facing stalls at Old Vic that not many know about. As the loos at the Old Vic are terrible, I thank whoever it was told me about this. It was on the board here. So Old Vic terrible position downstairs for stalls and cramped entrance as ladies' shared with men's. Donmar, well, quite a challenge for the over size 10 lady with weird step inside the cubicle. Stupid, stupid queues at National Lyttleton because despite their attempts to open more ladies' loos the positioning is cramped and there is always a line into the foyer. At the Olivier you have to go into the theatre to visit the loo and so have to wait til they let you in. Uh? As I have said the Dorfman foyer is like a funeral parlour. Almeida now quite nice with lovely big pictures of actresses on the doors. RSC one of my regular haunts has put those noisy driers in and it makes for a very hassled and stressful experience. Keep em coming. I think it's Hampstead with the pictures on the doors, Lynette. And one of the 'actresses' is SRB in drag!

Always good when there are multiple about to spread the people about. A bit of logic always helps too. Upstairs loos at the Lyttelton are always far emptier than the downstairs ones with there being fewer people up there. The number of times I've come downstairs from the Lyttelton circle toilets, and informed the enormous queue at the stalls toilets that there's a queue-free facility literally just above where we are right now, and been met with the blankest looks imaginable. Queue if you want, but just because you're used to it doesn't mean it *has* to be an integral part of the theatrical experience.

How long does it take you guys to pee in a cubicle anyway? Surely it's just a matter of preparing the equipment, doing the deed, then tucking it all away again? Unless I've got a SERIOUS amount going on in my bladder, I can be in and out in under forty seconds, and that usually includes tights and a skirt check, I refuse to believe that a man choosing to pee in a cubicle can possibly take *that* long.

A bit off topic, but... this thread title is certainly proving a little spooky. Straight after my last post I went to avail myself of my own facilities, pushed the flush button which then snapped into several pieces and disappeared into the cistern..... @parsley, I may be joining you at the Savoy....

Well as the locked thread suggests "The West End Gets its First Unisex Toilet".
The Vaudeville Theatre.

First unisex toilet? Now they take the one advantage from us men - not having to queue for the loos. Not impressed.
