Comment on Book chapter: What not to say or do when visiting the U.K. by Guy Standeven

Pretty well travelled in America I could list the same gripes about bad service, hideous food, unpleasant serving staff, oddball fellow travellers and dreadful hotels/motels that I came across there. British people are not a chatty bunch for the simple reason they’d rather not inflict their conversation on you if you don’t really want to hear it. As they have no idea in advance about this, they stay quiet for the sake of manners. But if you do talk to them, they’ll be perfectly happy to converse. Stay off religion, WW2, football -soccer as you call it, politics and never ask any British people their occupation or how much they earn. Decidedly bad form. Don’t faint at the urbane manners of the Border officials at the airport in comparison with their bullying US counterparts. If you do have an English, Welsh or Scottish name and you want to find out a little more history then use the internet, you’ll get much further. If you want to find out the best and cheapest way around Britain, use a hotel computer or ask the staff to plan a journey for you. Rail and coach companies do a variety of deals/money saving offers. Don’t hire a car if you’re staying in London, there’s no point, Tube or buses are much better. Google “Oyster Card.” If you’re staying/ travelling outside London, get a train out and hire a car locally rather than try and drive in London on the left if you’ve never done it. (It’s not the wrong side by the way, we know the Romans drove on the left here 2000 years ago.) Wear what the hell you like, nobody will notice anyway. Lastly, do tip. 10%. Taxi drivers and waiters.

Comment on Wrong: Gents’ restrooms with a urinal and a toilet in the same room by Philo

Definitely lock the door. The urinal uses less water, so use that to urinate in. Many Americans do realize that, but it might be more of a west coast thing, we have lived through water shortages and consider conservation a necessary activity.

The bars around the toilet are there for handicap access. Probably the owner chose to install this kind of bathroom so they did not have to install a separate handicap one, or you wandered into the handicap bathroom.

Again, lock the door. I neither want to walk in on you, nor do I want you to walk in on me. Simply treat this configuration as though there was just one toilet in there. You got there first, they can wait.

Where is the hand washing station? I believe this is a handicap accessible restroom that should be locked when in use by a single occupant.

Comment on Also Wrong: Gents’ restrooms with a urinal and a toilet in the same room, separated by a velvet curtain by Jhones Methew

Apart from this situation my question is that who need the curtain whereas the restroom is only for men. We guys can be manage this situation very easily. However, If you need the curtains, i would like to recommend Velvet Curtain.

I never lock doors since my neighbor had a heart attack in the bathroom. By the time they got the door off, he was dead. So today I was at a fast food joint having a nice crap when a couple of guys walked in. They pretended not to notice me but they both did their business. The layout was just like above. And as far as covering my jewels, I don’t care, let them look! After they left I was kind of excited with a semi-hard-on, so I relieved that too!

Can I just say, as a Brit, we do tip, in fact, as I am a waitress, it is rude NOT to tip, and we are always asking “did that table tip?” etc, and if they didn’t tip, there would be a lot of slagging off on their behalves.

Most of this is rubbish.
You don’t know what a pikey is, you mean chav.
Trying to make a joke about people with learning difficulties isn’t funny, it’s just offensive and crude.
However, i read on because it is sometimes humorous but still incorrect.

I just used one like this today. I sat on the can & a guy walked in & started to leave. I said “hey, if you just have to use the urinal you are more then welcome to” so he came back in & did. This was an odd set up in that the urinal was on a wall about 2 feet ahead of the toilet so he could kind of hide if he wanted to but not much but he had a perfect view of me. I told him about the time in college when a group of cleaning ladies walked in on me & a buddy using the toilet in college together (first time I ever used an open stall–actually no stall, side by side toilet, & especially with a buddy). Anyway, talk about embarrassing then. Anyway, the guy tonight wanted to know how my evening was going & wished me well & thanked me & took time to wash his hands etc.. & never looked away & I did not cover up either.

My husband and I are planning a trip to London next week and reading this has really frightened the begeebees out of me. I think common courtesy is a basic global thing but where do we go to find the truth on how to be accepted in a culture that is so different from ours? Or so it seems.
