Top news for wayward widdlers in the Guardian.

A bog-bound innovation spawned by those crayzee Dutch will encourage northerners in the UK to pee on target in pub lavs.

Nothing personal from anyone dahn sarf, but Northerners don't aim true, so we're told. And the answer to this dilemma is...spiders.

Er, we'd best explain.

Stickers of spiders, to be exact. Little decals of arachnids will be stuck inside urinals in pubs owned by the Yesteryear chain in Yorkshire and north west England, to stop male customers spraying all over the floor.

In Amsterdam's Schipol airport, urinal 'flies' have seen a reduction of men's "splashage" (as some bod talking to the Guardian calls it), but it'll be the 'cleaner' connotation of spiders which pub chiefs hope will improve the toilet behaviour of British mucky-pups.


Personally I always aim for the fag butt in the bowl

Moved to the Frontroom, with a caution for language: careful with the slang terms that may be misunderstood outside one's own culture. And since this is a Guardian article, may we have a link, please?

Hahaha, I imagine that has wholly different connotations to US patrons...

I though "nazi moderation", then thought about it a bit more. Could be seen as quite amusing.
