They should just install these, and solve the problem permanently. As long as they put a sign up, it's okay.

I wouldn't have a problem with them but I'm afraid the Brits would them excessive, unlike the rising bollards with conform to the letter of the law by doing the job without endangering anyone.

I want one of those for the house, and then I start thinking about 2001, and what was that other movie about the house ... Demon Seed? and decide that old fashioned manual systems are probably the best way to go.

You know those races where fully automated "robot" trucks race through the desert?
Take on of those trucks, and slap that thing on the back, and then you've got something!

That would be much cooler if it extruded from the street when it sensed someone nearby doing the pee pee dance.

What a great idea!

Although I suppose you have to change the laws a little in order not to make it a public decency offence...

I was at the cashpoint the other day in the AFTERNOON and there was a man having a wee to one side of it. I stared at his back til he finished and looked round, setting my face in a "You are a revolting creature" mask. No reason for it either - there are public toilets along that street AND 3 bars which you can easily go in without having to buy. Not that a Urilift is likely on my road, but the more men realise that urinating on buildings is unacceptable the better.

Yeah but, maybe he was just cooling it off or getting a knot out and it accidentally leaked.

Or he was just showing off.

I read they only come up at night, so maybe not.

I dunno, don't think I'd want to follow too closely behind someone heading for one of these......
