The Loo

Seldom is a visit of the pub not coupled with a visit to the lieux d'aisances. Here are some of the bathrooms of some of the establishments that we've frequented. The urinals are rated based on how high the bottom of the porcelain is in respect to the "business end" of the average user. So, a K- rating indicates that it's, appropriately, at or below knee level. While a -4w means that it's only about 4 inches below the "lower waist" level (not appropriate), and +2w means that it's about 2 inches above that level - which is completely out of the question! (Unless your bar caters solely to 8-foot tall Norwegians.)
