Are the longdrops dangerous in a storm? (particularly those raised roofed ones) I made the mistake of going during that epic storm of 2005 and was terrified of having my booth struck by lightning! 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Why do people insist on disposing of their cans and cups in the urinals? disgusting... somebody has to pick that crap out of there you know. I despair of the people I share the planet with sometimes.

That's always the first thought that pops into my mind when I open the door since they made the seats dinner-plate white

I think the new ones near the entrance to Bushy were raised, roofed long drops (I'd never seen them before either).

Annoyingly, they replaced the handy set of composts + urinal that had been brought in (to my delight) just a few years earlier.

Great topic btw.

Ah thanks. I'm sure there were composters somewhere in Bushy last year too though? I camped there and sure I used them, but might be thinking of 2015.

Definitely would like to see more urinals as a woman - it would free up a few more loos for us ladies.

and whilst on the subject of urinals ... does anyone know why they leave one side with no trough,  so some of the lazy animals can piss against the blue surround , dont think ive mentioned this for at least 6 months  but surely the festival have spotted it by now and it would give the urinals 25% increase in capacity

Yeah the main ones in the middle are all composts, but there was another set near the silver hayes entrance ( i tend to camp towards that corner).

And yeah, more urinals definitely needed. Its daft having a load of blokes queuing for a piss, and taking up valuable cubicle space. Probably leads to more pissing on the land too. Especially in the campsites.

I have a mate (true story not me )

This is the correct answer. I possibly prefer them to my toilet at home.

The toilets in WV really aren't that good, there are nowhere near enough for the number of people staying in there. Which is why I save my morning ablutions for the longdrops at the bottom of the hill.

I agree, I think WV toilets are way oversold, but if there is not a queue then they are pretty good.

I have no fear of the long drops at Glastonbury, I think they work really well and are preferable to the 'flushing' portaloos used at other festivals.

Honestly, so long as there's no discernible shit on the seat and the lock works, I couldn't care less. Glasto only lasts 5 days a year, can't be wasting time fannying about trying to find the perfect throne.

My son is like that. Thankfully it's only when he's at home, but I'm hoping he grows out of it soon! He's 11 for god's sake.

Composters all day long, but the long drops up by Strummerville are probably the best (and least used) on site.

What have you been eating???

I thought they did (finally) do something towards this in some of the urinals next year?  Changing the design of the urinals seems a cheaper approach than employing stewards to shout at people, which is the only other option I can think of.

While the answer will obviously vary depending on specifically where you're talking about - maybe the empty side can't be plumbed through to the collection tank for whatever reason?

I always assumed it was because that side is often visible to passers by- but considering where people choose to piss anyway...

Does he take his clothes off before he potters over then, or after?

after

 

may take him to lost horizons though , so he can do it before hand

Late morning longdrops at Glasto Latino.

Spotless, still with plenty of paper and a sink with soap at that time of day.

I'm all the years I've been going to Glastonbury, I've never once successfully used the urinals-- I just can't go in a communal trough surrounded by people, plus people on the outside can see your face as the fence isn't high enough!

You're not alone; quite a lot of people don't like urinals, myself included. Have to be near exploding to ever use the troughs. Those urinal crosses during events aren't too bad if nothing else is available. Usually I'm definitely in for a good hike to find a nice, reasonably clean composter or portaloo. But I do have to admit that it certainly takes up to two-three days for my body to relax enough to have a big release. 

[The Nal]

Urinals are great. More of them please. 

Also frees up the other toilets for the ladies. 

 

 

Which means I don't have to stand around waiting for Mrs Nal and missing bands.

5 days without excretion is very unhealthy and id recommend you really don't do that. PLus the fact is you're going to have a very hard time of it when you get home to your own jacks, squeezing out a shite the size of a cinder block as if the post glasto week long hangover wasn't bad enough....

I don't like being able to see the sky when I'm taking a dump. Makes me feel vulnerable.
