Stopped at the revamped southbound Fleet services yesterday.
Very odd configuration with the urinals in the gents. They alternate one back and one forward in a recess. Very odd. If you're in the forward one you're worried the guy behind you and to the side might pee down you. If behind the person in front and to side can look round and have a look at her johnson.
All very odd. Design genius.
Pics?
'fraid not I may have to draw a diagram
I was only discussing this the other day with a colleague, we have a company that specialise in commercial washrooms and these are a very odd design to me.
With urinals you get the dreaded splash back so now if you are in the front urinal you get spray from the neighbours too!
Very strange.

her johnson? what type of place is this?
It takes seven years to train as an architect.
7 years spent not having a piss seemingly
Think Newport Pagnell has the same. Very odd.
I'm there 7:15 tomorrow. I shall check it out.
Sounds like the seating in Virgin C class.
You’re not supposed to get your johnson out in club class though. Just press the button if you want the stewardess’s attention

Take a pic to show what I mean by my rather bad explanation. If you can get away without looking like a rest room botherer.
This can only end well 😀
I worked in the shop at Fleet Services over the summer after I'd finished my GCSE's. True story, but I can't remember what the bogs were like.
I did mislay about 400 quid out of the till one shift, which amused my supervisor no end.
‘...You’re not supposed to get your johnson out in club class though. Just press the button if you want the stewardess’s attention...’
isn’t that how you presss the button?
The modern equivalent of a dictaphone?
This can only end well
I need to be in Dorchester by 10:30, ive no intention of staying at Hampshire Constabulary for a couple of days...
FFS we need the pictures!
I’m on my way shortly, wish me luck...
GoPro pov ? Gimballed Gonzo mount?
I'll see you there mate!
I was there Friday and didn't notice anything unusual. Maybe I need to pee more attention?
Gaah! Got the pic, cant post it via iphone!
Gaah! Got the pic,

I know, you kindly left that information on the cubicle wall.
I think Kryton has been arrested
I wasn't, he was.
I've been in loos at the services fairly recently that were like this, but I can't remember where. Probably somewhere on the midlands - Bristol stretch of the M5.
Basically the urinals are offset back & forwards from each other as they go along the line, by about 2 foot. If you choose a 'forward' urinal, you potentially end up with 2 blokes either side of you having a wee 'just over your shoulder'.
God knows why anyone thought this was a good idea & God knows who would choose the 'forward' position! The risk of being enveloped in a fine mist of widdle seemed pretty high!

There are night clubs for that after all 😀

What a moronic piece of design.
It’s not a bad as the fancy urinal we have at work.
It’s too high up and piss blows everywhere....
Is it one of those new-fangled Escape Rooms?
Well done Kryton. A picture paints a thousand words.
And a proper LOL spit my coffee on the screen at Perchy!
I'll be at a certain hotel in Brighton later. There are 3 urinals arranged in a corner so that if you were to use the middle one then your buttocks would be in contact with the buttocks of anyone using a urinal either side of you.
Perchy you fool thats a teabagging machine
I only drink coffee 😉
I live in Fleet, never been to the Services and suffering from actute FOMO 😉 I feel I need to go a pay a visit.
I avoid urinals - you either get uncomfortably close to other blokes weeing or splashback (from you and/or them) or both.
As an aside, I was further put off them when my not been walking long daughter toddled up to a urinal thinking it was a sink and picked up one of the yellow disinfectant things to wash her hands after a visit to the proper loos.

Watch out for weirdos taking pics in the bogs
What Idiot thought that a "McLaren F1" forward driving position for a urinal was a good idea?
Advantages : Staggered elbow room so that you can get an extra couple of traps in.
Disadvantages : Getting covered in piss.
Also, there’s nowhere to sit down.
the brown boxes are kind of human sized

Maybe it's to stop the selfish bastards who, on seeing a row of 3 empty urinals pick the middle one, thus rendering the 2 that are flanking him useless? You are always going to pick left or right there. Anyone who doesn't, frankly, deserves to be pissed on.
Can I just applaud the fact that a post with this title has got to a second page.
I honestly didn’t notice the change in configuration..
I was in there late last week as well..
😳
... hotel in Brighton ... arranged in a corner ... your buttocks would be in contact with the buttocks of anyone ...
Probably intentional.
Why’s one floorboard a totally different colour? Soaked in piss already or bought from a different kit?
I was in there late last week as well..
Do you mean that you had an 'accident'?
Good grief. Never have I had to delete a pic from so many places to prevent HR intervention... backup here, backup there... its taking the piss.
I only drink white "coffee" 😉
FTFY
Maybe it was designed by a Star Trek: The Next Generation fan.
That bridge looks like the driver and passenger seat of a modern winnebago
Isnt the Scott Mills Radio 1 DJ bridge at Fleet services.

it's in Brighton so that is probably by design...
This has to be up there for 'odd thread of the year' award... As for taking the pics, big kahunas...
