A 16th-Century Guide to Pooping at King Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace

How did King Henry VIII and other members of the Tudor nobility handle going to the bathroom? (Spoiler: There was velvet involved, but it still wasn’t pretty.)

Group pooping, anyone?

Not a lot of difference than group urinals - just a long trough that men stand at to piss in - no dividers. I've seen them at the Farm Show Complex in Pennsylvania but haven't used them - I get stage fright.

Speaking of bathroom habits - found this in a Bermuda Pub 2 weeks ago.

I'll guess that those big rolls on the wall aren't Charmin.

For your consideration ...

Don't enlist.

It'll definitely cure you of stage fright if one did join. Because when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Plus, any untoward glances towards another for more than a micro second would get one called out immediately.

The bad part was there is another row directly across from these, it doesn't matter which way you look you saw another guy shitting.

Don't enlist.

yeah, there’s no such thing as privacy in the military.
