In reply to the O/P, I have to confess I've been beaten into submission house-trained by M'Lady and #1 Daughter. Who both complained loudly and at great length every time I dared to do it standing up and then (to compound the offence) left the lid up as well.

The only place my conduct is now acceptable is around the perimeter of our garden, where (I maintain) it is useful to deter would-be predators and safeguard our chickens.

Not exactly predators, but that is the eco-friendly way that the local Badger Group suggests for deterring badgers if their entry point can be established.

Standing orders on my boat include “Gentlemen shall not pee over the side.” US coastguard fish too many dead guys out of the water with ‘open fly syndrome’

In the heads though why do the likes of Jabsco, etc. Sell toilet seats like this

While big ships seem to have seats like this.

Seriously, a leeward lurch could leave a bloke sitting to pee for the rest of his (or her?) life.😱

I struggle with the small diameter of a 2 ltr plastic milk container ;)

Another worrying question is am I expected to fill it on each performance? I have visions of Matron, Hattie Jacques, from the Carry On films saying, 'I expect to see that filled when I return'!
I don't remember that quote. But I do remember the "What, from here?" by Norman Stanley Fletcher. (Which was apparently reused in another programme by the same writers.)

Ladies please stay seated for the entire performance, gentlemen please stay seated it is shorter than you think.

Anyway certain common prostate conditions it's not possible to empty the bladder properly while seated.
Strange! I would have thought that the contrary was true. As the great poet once wrote:
"No matter how much you shake your peg,
The last drop always rolls down your leg".
This just doesn't happen when you do it sitting down.😃

Personal experience dear boy.... and before anyone asks, yes the Docs have checked it out and say it's to be expected in many cases. And your poet friend is wrong as the change of posture can allow a further last drop after standing up. So I have learned to be cautious about standing up after a seated performance!

Old age brings a whole set of problems I never expected or imagined!

Revelation: there are other ways of absorbing drips! If it was all more talked about there might be fewer deaths from late-discovery prostate cancer. A side effect of a prostate operation (e.g. TURP) is the extraction of a biopsy for testing...
