Raymond Martin, managing director of the British Toilet Association, says business and governments need to adapt public toilets to make them infection-resistant, adding technology such as foot-operated flushes and sensor-activated taps.
Hospitality industry groups in Britain have also proposed replacing rows of urinals with cubicle-only washrooms for both men and women.
Martin told the Sunday Times that transforming toilets would be expensive, but “we want to bring back life to this country, and toilets are a vital part of that.”
He said “tourist offices all over the country should be telling visitors: ‘Come see our castle, come see our beaches, come see our state-of-the-art toilets.’”
That would be an unfortunate development but whatever
Never knew there was something called a “toilet expert” but whatever. I would think a urinal, if it’s self flush, etc. I would think would be safer because you have to touch it.
Urinals for woman, that’s a new one.
Urinals are my #1 go to.
This stupidity PISSes me off!
Just don’t look over to the next urinal and make any comments. It might get you a Superbowl ring implant on your forehead.
So what do you do when urine such a situation?
best thing is to use the bushes….
How is sitting down on a toilet with full contact safer than a urinal with zero contact?
