Continental Urinals
One of the things that I noticed during our recent tour was that urinals in European toilets are, on the whole, so much more technologically advanced than our own British ones. Mind you, I’ve never had to manually flush urinals in the UK, which happened a few times on the continent. Ours tend to be flushed, en masse, on a timed basis, whereas ones in continental Europe (even the recent EU-joiners like Slovakia) tend to operate using the automatic sensor, per-urinal-flushing method.
So, chalk up yet another thing that we in the UK do worse than our cousins over La Manche. Actually, Kathy & I started a list of things that they do better and things that we do better, and the list was heavily stacked in favour of the continent. I’ll dig the list out soon and post it here.
