Female revellers at Britain’s outdoor Glastonbury Festival will be able to enjoy this year’s show without straining their bladders — courtesy of stand-up urinals.Photo from the BBC in 2004. Text (and more details) at xes, via Grit in the Gears, where the similarity is noted to Victorian-era public urinals on display at the railway museum in Darlington:
Organisers have installed two sets of the urinals around the main Pyramid stage for the exclusive use of women, complete with “concierge” attendants to ensure a dignified experience.
Key to the arrangement is a special, anatomically shaped funnel to be handed out to each user.
There is of course more information on urinals at the relevant Wikipedia entry, including this tidbit:
Ernest Hemingway converted a urinal from Sloppy Joe's bar into a water fountain for his cats. The fountain remains a prominent feature at his former home in Key West, Florida, a popular tourist destination in the town.
