There are old toilets around here where the cistern lid is the handbasin - the basin greywater drains into the cistern.

I think this kind of urinal would have to be placed dependent on what kind of patrons you have.

What are you referring to? Where is "here"? Why so vague?

Most home toilets in Japan have a washbasin in the lid.

I give it 15 minutes before someone pisses all over the faucet.

I have no problem washing my hands in normal restroom sinks. What's next, bidets for those who don't wash their asses?

(yes, I saw the article about Japanese toilets a few months back)

Why wash if you're only using the urinal? Your penis is cleaner than your hands.

Exactly what I thought... Some tall, drunk, guy (me) will ruin it for everyone else.

Ummm... We wash our hands regularly to promote hygiene. Do you wash your penis as often as I wash my hands?
