This was tonight’s conumdrum: If you are male, (and non Welsh speaking) which one would you choose?

  1. Looks like the male/female symbols are the tails. So Right.

  2. I’m guessing that the tail symbol means male to the right, but they’ve made it deliberately confusing by putting the female symbol on the left at the wrong orientation to “fit” the tail.

    So just use whatever has the smaller queue or flip a coin.

  3. I went for the stereotypical blue before seeing the tails. Looks like I would have been ok!

  4. That’s an arrow on the blue one?? Can barely tell but might just be the picture quality even though I know the symbols

  5. Is there a urine stain in the corner near these doors?

  6. GCSE short form Welsh really coming in clutch on that one.

  7. I think you’re meant to ask the dragons. “If I were to ask the other dragon which door was safe, what would they say?”

    It’s a Jimmy Riddle.

  8. I’ve actually learned enough welsh (from duolingo!) to know where to go based on the text, instead of relying on the colours or the tails!

  9. I’m ashamed to admit, I actually don’t know which sign means male and female. I’d be properly fucked.

  10. The one for women has the Welsh word for Women written on, the one for men has the Welsh word for Men written on.

    I’d guess this is in Wales, where using the Welsh language isn’t ’non-standard’!

  11. I’d choose Merched because I’m doing Welsh on Duolingo.

  12. I hate these types of signs, my daughter is visually impaired – she can recognise the standard symbols once close enough but she wouldn’t have a clue with these!
    Or the ever amusing cats and cockerels at a bar.

    I get the desire to be distinct or upmarket or edgy or whatever… and I applaud it, honestly I do. But sometimes I wonder if people think things through and how these decisions affect everyone for something as fundamental as going for a piss.

    I’ll get off my podium now and return you to CasualUK, I apologise!

  13. You could ask someone? Not a bad chance to learn a few words in Britain’s oldest language anyway

  14. Polish toilet signs are completely bizarre. It’s a 50/50% guess.

  15. Where was this picture taken?

    Is it Carmarthenshire/Ceredigion?

  16. I thought this nonsense had died out once disabled toilets were introduced in the mainstream… What’s the sign for that? A dragon in a wheelchair?!?!

    I remember having to ask my mum if I was a colt or filly as a kid in the Blacksmiths Arms in the early 80s.

    By the 90s most places had realised that ‘Guys, Dolls, Disabled’ or ‘Skirts, Shirts, Disabled’ wasn’t a good look!

    I’m really surprised it still exists!

  17. In pubs in Ireland you sometimes get “Fir” (men) and “Mná” (women) on the doors. Tourists get confused & think it’s F = female, M = male.

  18. Should’ve given the male dragon a massive dick and the female dragon massive tits

  19. Right? If nothing else then I feel that male toilets are often on the right
