First time I visited England, on my very first day there, I was having a spot of lunch in a local eatery with the rest of my traveling group, when I excused myself and headed for the restroom to rid myself of the several pints of good English lager that I had downed with my fish and chips. I entered the "loo" and stood there dumbfounded...not a urinal in sight, and the two WC's available were occupied.
I could not figure out what the hell was going on, until a local walked in, said "cheers", and began to urinate against the wall!
I was aghast!
It took me quite some time to get used to the occasional troughs that passed for urinals in the older Pubs in Jolly Old England, but I made damned sure to pee before leaving our hotel room for dinner every day of our stay there.

Where in England, if you don't mind my asking? I've only been to London, Salisbury and Canterbury. Possibly may be visiting Durham in August.

Oh how awful! I've never been able to understand how men can pee in front of each other in public restrooms!
