"....there was no statistical significance in the degree of contamination between lidless public toilets and household toilets with lids."

Based on that you really should pee sitting down, but who has time for that and really who wants to give up a key perk of being male?

Take a leak outside in your yard. It's good enough for your dog and it's more hygienic.
Plus for those of you who live in developments, it's a great way to meet the neighbors!

Hence the limey term, “I’m off to splash me boots”.

when it takes fer ever and ya get drips on your pants and a residual drip putting 'it' up, more convenient to sit and 'relax' especially on 'the man's' time

This study was done with viruses, and admits that previous studies with bacteria showed a difference.

Whatever. I'm still closing my lids at home, especially if flushing a deuce.

I just use the clorox tablets and roll on. Lid stays down. I don't sit to pee and I occasionally piss in the yard. I am doing my part.
