Lovely! - Shame there isn't a magnetised polarity changer, than can turn the one way out inwards, so that i can watch them suffer in solitude!
Shocking decent - and i would use it!
"Don't Miss A Sec" was installed at a construction site (the future home of the Chelsea College of Art and Design) across the road from London's Tate Britain museum
Almost wish I still lived at the other end of France to be able to see one of these things "in the flesh" so to speak...
There a highly developed pron business on the French riviera which will doubtless be exploring the exhibitionist possibilities in their next offerings ..
like strobe lights inside....
For those of you who know what the English used to call a "French toilet" and the French ( trying to ignore that most all motorway rest rooms and campsites have these ..so do a lot of bars and restaurants ) call a "Turkish Toilet" ...
the ones where you squat and hope your aim is good at a hole in the floor ....yes those are all over this country still ...
If they made them out of this one way glass would anyone still use one?...apart from bcol..maybe ..nah
..despite macgurus protestations I still am inclined to wonder how he finds these things ...and how he explains the looking to the "overshoulderwatcheress" ....
"honest hon ..its research for Foo " ... ;)
ps love the pun ..Does that mean you're gonna change the first letter of "Foo" when you post just to forewarn ..
It just looks too inviting to pass up.
I'd probably suffer performance failure due to laughing too much. All those voyeurs, passing by and peering in, thinking to themselves "I wonder what's going on in there".

Sir John Crapper (yes, that was his real name, and he was enobled for his invention and made Royal Plumber to Queen Victoria)
Huh? I think you've got confused here. Crapper's name was Thomas, and he did not invent the toilet [theplumber.com]. As you'll see from the article, he did, however, exist.
As far as the acoustic properties of the toilet eat are concerned, I (and friends) discovered at school that a trombone mouthpiece placed in the overflow pipe of a bank of three toilets can be used to produce a deep mellow sound, predictably not unlike that of an alpenhorn. Also predictably, we christened this instrument "the bogpipes". For best effect, it should be played while an unsuspecting victim is sat on it.
I have tears in my eyes....strobe light inside! Holy cra* that was a priceless mind picture!
goob
They just have a portable urinal, a big block of plastic with a hole the size of a hand on each side. Nothing to stop people seeing your bits other than using your hand and bum!
Obviously this is only for men as females are far too clean, they never pee in the street......yeah right.
I've never used one, much too embarassed. Using one of these in the MIDDLE of the city centre!?
I guess it would also demonstrate if they could poop under pressure.

I was only wrong about the name...
And the whole flush toilet invention thing...
And prolly the enoblement too...
But everything else was accurate ;)
sheesh. Some people. So picky. Wanting their "facts" and acutally doing their "research"....
re: toilet seats, I like to keep them both down, the seat and the lid. From what I've seen, a lot of men leave the seat up, and lots of women insist on the seat being left down (while leaving the lid up).
Yet when we purchase toilet covers and rugs, doesn't leaving the lid up mean that the lid cover is never seen?
Men who feel hassled about the seat should just remember to keep the lid down. That way, you both have to lift something to use the toilet. Keep reminding her to keep the lid down.
the ones where you squat
Japanese toilet stall doors come within a centimeter of the floor so there's no issues there, but it explains why a lot of Japanese don't like using public restrooms in the USA (where the stall doors and walls are pretty high off the floor).
The trick to the sqatting ones is to lower your trowsers only halfway down your thighs, and face the "pipe wall" (so "backwards" if what you're used to is a Western-style one) to help keep your balance.
(Brings up the cross-cultural problem point of home-toilet doors -- in Japan, you keep them closed at all times, whereas in the US, a closed door means 'occupied'. But this is OT.)
That's cruel! Where is the dog going to drink then?
Like what we use in Japan. In a lot of Japanese restroom, you'll find a few Japanese-style (sqwat over a trough, more oblong than a hole) and a few Western-style (sit). The ratio generally depends on how "modern" the buildings and/or occupants are.
...In Korea I often saw footprints on the rims of 'western' style toilets. And in the subway stations, the stalls with the 'sit-down' toilets often had signs that said "Foreigner Only".

The glass of the walls and doors is made with a layer of liquid crystals between two layers of glass. A current keeps the crystals in line and the glass clear, but when the door handle is turned and locked, the current turns off, crystals fall out of alignment, and the glass appears clouded.
Very useful for the home too for those that have a window in your shower. You could have a clear window and when you want some privacy just flip a switch.

It is actually located in London. The first link found has holes in it. Thanks to the inquisitive mind of BReflection (msg # 28) we now can share our deepest thoughts about this sophisticated work of art.
I bet that we all can imagine taking the pressure off by squeezing out a little
Now that's poetic!
Sorry :(
