public loos - sit or crouch?

I use a tissue to press the button at the road crossing.

No!!! My God, it's all coming out now.

I use my knuckle.

I wonder how we have all managed to survive to be grandparents?

Why is (nearly) everyone so paranoid about 'germs'?

They aren't absorbed into your bloodstream via your fingertips, for goodness sake!

Don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth with fingers you fear might have been contaminated until you can wash your hands. Simples!

I want to know if that lot at HQ sit or hover.

Elegran - but I want the best of health along the way.

You know what ! I never realized what a dangerous world we live in till I joined this forum

I like the "go Girl" device! I have a SheWee because when we are travelling we are sometimes in places where any public loo would be a treat, but since I never wear dresses or skirts there's a lot of faffing around with trousers and a sheWee.
Will report back on GoGirl.

(I don't hover but have learned to check the state of the seat before descending.)

OMG, just looked up "GO Girl" thought it was just a funky coloured funnel, been using it to fill wine bottles.

How sad.

Give us a clue, Ariadne.

Mrs P can give it a rinse. Use it for it's proper purpose. (if she's prepared for a wet leg)

You can have it back for the wine after pomps

I too looked up "Go Girl" and found that Amazon were selling them, both new and used ones! This is certainly not something I would want to buy second-hand.
As someone else said it is really no more than a funnel - the problem is disposing of the pee afterwards.

Not mocking as it sounds a sensible idea , but giggling to myself imagining GNs practising the she wee , the bottle washing etc behind closed bathroom doors, hoping no one barges in !

granny gear ,my oh could by a job lot of silica gel.

You could I mean

Haven't had such a good laugh in ages. How very true all your various experiences sound. To 'hover' or not to .'hover' that is the question. Obviously a large(ish) cork may prove to be the answer.

No!!! My God, it's all coming out now

Whatever did you mean?!!

katynana I rather think not.

GG, "the problem is disposing of the pee afterwards" some of the homemade wine I have tasted could have been pee.

Also, just keep an eye out for all the bottles of discarded pee along motorway verges. Always assumed it was lorry drivers, but now I think the women may be involved.

I didn't realise about the half full/empty bottles on motorway verges until DH told me. Can't stop looking for them now and counting how many. Is that OCD.

And... Why are parents now only, it seems, instructing children to wash their hands after going to the loo? I was brought up thinking the other way around. ALWAYS was your hands before touching food or eating - then it doesn't matter how many dirty rails/handles/coins you've touched. It was also the reason for not completely peeling a banana and eating cakes and chocolate from their wrappers.

Grannygear you don't exactly "dispose" of the pee. You just pee straight into a bush - like blokes to.

phoenix - the semi-neurotic confessions! What did you think I meant?!
