DaveH Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Where in Sheffiel is there a "Ex Gents Urinal" that is now a YEB (or what ever its called nowadays) Sub Station. It has a roof now which it did not a few years ago Old proverb say Never use a live substation as a urinal Modern warning just says Danger, High Voltage, Risk of death. Apparently its also a good idea at the railway station not to urinate on the "third rail" ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see that you didn't get arrested for loitering around a public toilet with a camera :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 To get back to the point, after 12 posts has anyone had a sensible guess at the answer yet? I'm afraid I'm barred from entering this one as me and Stuart were discussing this in the pub over a drink and he told me the answer. So come on, somebody have a guess!
