Would be a bit unpleasant if anyone tried to get a tune out of it.

Maybe a hornpipe?
Shewee anyone?

i have one that is about 200 years old made by spode that looks like a large gravy boat. as used in one's carriage because you didn't want your postillion struck by lightning! when people are handed it with sauce etc they tend to go a bit funny but i ensure them it has been washed since it was last used for it's original purpose.

Well I am ready to submit my report:
Brilliant when testing in the shower. Very impressive.
Ok when used wearing a skirt and out and about.
Poor when wearing trousers (had to shift them sufficiently enough to invalidate the point of it).
DIABOLICALLY RUBBISH when wearing oilies (I tried on Sunday on a cold, damp sail in calm conditions surrounded by menfolk).
THEY thought it was hilarious. I didn't. And now have oilies in the washing basket.
Overall verdict: pointless. In 30 odd years of camping, hiking, festivaling, canoing, sailing, etc, etc, I've not wee'd myself yet or not found somewhere to go when I needed to. Unlike some men, I haven't yet found the need to pee off the side of a boat or relieve myself in a doorway or phone box.

How did I miss this?
When necessary heave to or at least ease off the pace a bit so that ladies on board, especially a significant share holder can gracefully go below and do the necessary.
There are freebies and jollies and then there is the shewee - sounds like a new office code for jobs that no one wants to go on and so end the most junior person off on it.
If I wanted a divorce or to sleep in the garage for a month I might suggest one of these - or order one anonymously. Seen similar on offer in Bangkok, supposedly because the traffic gets so bad that ... anyway.
OK we often get sent bits and bobs to test and write about here in the YM office. For some reason the kind (???) people at Shewee have sent everyone in the office a Shewee.
For those of you not au fait with the Shewee it's a bit of plastic that enables women to pee standing up, "An essential for female boaters" apparently.
"essential |iˈsen sh əl|
adjective
1 absolutely necessary; extremely important"
Yet somehow my wife managed to 3 months on a yacht without ever needing to pee off the side, so one could argue whether it really is "essential for female boaters"
Any how......
"Dear Graham," the letter starts
"I'm writing to let you know about Shewee - the portable urinating device for women."
First off, I'm a man, my name is Graham, I've never met a woman called "Graham", so why do I or any of the other seven men that work for Yachting Monthly really want a female urinating device? No, we couldn't work out why either.
I have a wife, it's true, but she has never felt the need to squat over a bucket or hang off the back of the boat, we have a toilet for that sort of thing.
Anyway, we have a number of the bloody plastic shewees in the office, so if anyone (preferably female) would like to test one for Yachting Monthly. PM me with your address and I'll pop one the the post.
