Default Is the Glastobury festival broadcast? News story

There...now this is NOT off-Topic:


"She-pee" urinals bring relief to Glastonbury-goers

LONDON, June 16 (Reuters) - Female revellers at Britain's outdoor Glastonbury
Festival will be able to enjoy this year's show without straining their
bladders -- courtesy of stand-up urinals.

Organisers have installed two sets of the urinals around the main Pyramid stage
for the exclusive use of women, complete with "concierge" attendants to ensure
a dignified experience.

Key to the arrangement is a special, anatomically shaped funnel to be handed
out to each user.

"There are plenty of places the men can go and have a pee when they're right in
the middle of the festival and not near some of the proper toilets. These are
the female equivalent of that," said a spokesman for the festival.

"It's equality for women, basically."

The pink-coloured urinals, dubbed "She-pee" by the festival organisers, will be
unveiled in a pink ribbon-cutting ceremony at midday on Wednesday, ahead of the
three-day event at Pilton, in Somerset, southern England which starts on June
25.

The spokesman said the urinals had been used at other festivals, including in
the Netherlands.

"They are well-tested," he said.
