Langdale slate...

 “Someone’s happy”, says the guy relieving himself at the far urinal. I hum to myself without even realising it, but at least I’m aware of the urinal etiquette. Men never talk about it; it’s just a behaviour we learn. When confronted by a row of urinals, most men will use the one on the far left or far right, which gives the next guy the opportunity to use the urinal on the other end. With more guys, things get more complicated, as this website indicates…

There is one rule that over-rides all others: don’t invade the invisible ‘buffer zone’. So if there’s just one guy using a urinal, you must never, ever use the one next to him. It can only end badly…

Trying to find pictures in gloomy light: silver birches growing out of the slate quarrying spoil heaps, in Langdale...
