interestingly they had 'loo' on 'Balderdash and pifle' and had all manner of suggestions... the garde l'eau option fell by the wayside fairly early. John was in contact with the OED (for some related issue) and asked if they were aware of 'bourdalou' (as it doesn't even make it into the dictionary as a word)... (they tended to be called coach pots in this country)... they were aware of the word and intend to put it in the next OED and they consider there to be a strong possibility that is where 'loo' comes from and couldn't understand why the TV company hadn't picked up on it... it being fairly televisual, ladies peeing, in church, in pots under voluminous skirts etc. The name itself comes from a preacher in the French royal court (a M. Bourdalou)... supposedly his sermons were so good you had to arrive fairly early to get a seat...so ladies of the court took to taking in receptacles (maybe even suace boats to start with) to pee in rather than give up their seats. redcat http://groups.yahoo.com/group/objectification_in... | |

Be warned, they do take practice to use with your trousers still on. *blushes at memory of damp trousers* When I'm trusting and being myself... everything in my life reflects this by falling into place easily, often miraculously - Shakti Gawain | |

But they are not new.... Every festival i have ever been to over the past 6 years has had someone selling the cardboard disposable and the plastic sheepee funnels. They even have female urinals!!!! However the que for those was just as long as for the cubicles so just use the mens. Most of your local camping shops sell them cheaper than the festivals will. I just remember reading festival one morning 3 years ago getting up hung over and standing in the bushes of the green tent area and peeing with all the boys in a circle and them not clocking that i was a girl until i pulled it out and shock it off, smiled and said "morning boys, yes you did just see what you think you did"
Hehe every girl should have one....But word of warning it will not allow you to pee higher up the wall than the guys... it doesn't flex!!!!!!!!!!!!! xXx DD xXx | |

in the i8th and early nineteenth centuries the rich used a bourdalou, a receptacle a bit lke a sauce boat that went between their legs so they could pee into it descretely beneath their skirts. that maybe where the modern word 'loo' originated. slightly off OP but hey ho redcat bourdalou is a small urinary receptacle for female use, of compressed eliptical shape and generally made of porcelaine or earthenware, but also made occasionally of silver. Its front end has an incurved rim and, usually, stands on a simple foot ring with a simple loop handle. The bourdalou were used c. 1710-1850. An apocryphal explanation of the origin of the name attributes it to Père Bourdaloue (1632-1704), a Jesuit preacher at the Court of Louis XIV, whose long discourses detained the ladies of the Court so as to necessitate this practical receptacle. In England the bourdalou is known as silver 'coach pot'.
