As an American man who's used many a toilet in both countries, I feel qualified to note that while uncommon, it is more likely for the dangly bits to touch water in the US. UK toilets do tend to be deeper and have less water in the bowl. US public toilets are the worst because they have to be so low to the ground due to ADA (disabilities) requirements that they're often made very shallow.
Of course, the obvious solution is to rest your bits on top of the seat, rather than letting them dangle in the bowl. There have been studies performed that show that even public toilet seats are actually quite clean unless there's obvious "contamination" on them. Plus, there's always those paper ass gaskets.
Okay, I think that's enough for today.
Also, that school-bus-slash-bar is awesome. There's a English pub by the beach near here (in California) that has a couple of old Routemaster double-deckers they converted into smoking lounges since you can't smoke inside anymore. Kind of the same thing in reverse. Heh
