It always seems there is a urinal for normal size people, and a urinal for short people in all mens toilets in the US. Still don't understand why. In public toilets , maybe the short one is for kids, but at work , really doesn't make sense. I don't see many dwarfs either.

Nutek would probably have to go outside for that.
There is that.

I believe seven is the normally accepted amount.

Urinals for "people"? You'd fit in well in Charlotte, NC.

I'd like to know why workplace toilets in the UK usually had 10-12 urinals, and others, such as in restaurants also had loads, whereas in the US there are usually two, or occasionally three, urinals.

Talking of beer and curry, I found a supplier for these locally. Shame the take out was rubbish.

They do have urinals in the unisex toilets I have been in. Hence people, because I have no idea what other people do in unisex toilets. Admittedly there was only one at regular height.

This is why the big wall with a trough at the bottom worked so well - works for all heights of people.

Good stuff. I've seen it around my way a fair bit, too.

Alas, the one local Indian restaurant that did pretty decent curry seems to have gone out of business

I honestly can't remember, I was about 16 at the time. I just remember being incredibly drunk. It was great.
