'Anti-pee' walls in Hackney will splash offenders

Quite a Christmassy depiction I thought. :o)

Surely one simply chooses not to pee perpendicularly to the wall but at an angle ? Provides a game of trying to bounce it off onto a passer by.

Pity they can't add to it. Like a slurry pipe that activates when the wall's hit, straight into the offenders face.
ummmm - //Why can't men hold it in until they get home? It's rare you'll see a woman peeing in the street. //

It's simple - men do not possess the innate sense of dignity that prevents a woman from urinating in the street.

Add to that the gender tendency to act without thinking - enhanced by excess alcohol - and the urge to do as they wish when they wish, and hey presto!
I read somewhere that during WW2, the pilots of Lancaster bombers had a tube into which they could relieve themselves during long flights to and from Germany. If the pilot was unpopular with his ground crew, the latter would tie a knot in the tube........
//enhanced by excess alcohol //

How do you come to that conclusion . Never heard of men with prostate problems.?

I see a load of adverts on the TV for Womens incontinence pads. Never for men. I assume they just pee in their pads
retrocop - ////enhanced by excess alcohol //

Are you seriously suggesting that every man who wees in the street on the way home from a night out has prostate problems? Really???

//I see a load of adverts on the TV for Womens incontinence pads. Never for men. I assume they just pee in their pads //

The pads are for bladder weakness, which allows the occasional drops of urine to leak without control - they are for women who have lost some bladder control, often after childbirth.

Not really the same thing - is it?
I am not suggesting that men relieve themselves in the street because they have drank too much alcohol either. It may be your betes noire but others can imbibe without excess and behave with dignity. Men do have prostate problems which makes them need to pass water or feel they need to so I wouldn't make assumptions.
Would these help?

I think you are trying to avoid obvious experience that anyone has who has walked the streets of a UK town or city after closing time -

men walking home who urinate in the street do so because they are too drunk to have bothered using the toilet in the pub before leaving, and they are too drunk to care where they relieve themselves.

I would suggest that any man with prostate problems who is sober, will have made sure he uses the toilet before leaving the pub.

There may be exceptions - but honestly - the evidence wins out here - it is nothing to do with 'assumptions' - and it is nothing to do with alcohol 'being my bête noir' - which it isn't.

Oops - the last paragraph is a C & P from retrocop, which I missed - I wouldn't make assumptions either, but nor would I deny the evidence of my own eyes over many years.
Have you had an elderly relative with Altzheimers? My late father was a man of dignityand drank little. When he needed to go towards his later days he often didn't realise he needed to go until the last minute. My mother carried two pairs of underpants and trousers when they went out. He would wet himself in a restaurant because he left it too late to go to the toilet. I wouldn't generalise on men's urinary habits.
As for being Drunk and Indecent please do not patronise me.

... and there's me thinking this thread would raise a bit of a laugh for the Festive Season. Oh well...
frugalfred, two F-16 crashes (in the 1990s, I think) were caused by pilots getting tangled up with their piddle packs.

Seems to have gone down like a wet blanket. Hardly surprising.
Most of the blokes I see spraying doorways, walls, fences and hedges around Blackpool certainly don't seem old enough to be suffering from prostrate troubles or alzheimers.......and I have never seen a gentleman old enough to be assumed to be suffering from either of those conditions peeing in public, either.

I am perfectly willing to accept that there are a (seriously small) minority of men with bladder problems such as your late father.

But your late father was a man of dignity - so I would imagine he would never dream of opening his pants and urinating in public in full of whomever was around.

So that story bears no relation whatsoever to the OP - which is designed to stop the frequent antisocial behaviour of late-night urinators.

//I wouldn't generalise on men's urinary habits.//

Neither would I - this is a specific problem, common enough in the area indicated for the council to take preventative action.

//As for being Drunk and Indecent please do not patronise me. //

I have no idea what you mean by that statement.
Get out more.
Aye Naomi, went off like a damp squib. Not to worry, you tried to lighten the mood.
I agree Naomi !

Surely the problem is that there just aren't enough public toilets available ?

I am out and about all day and if it weren't for Tesco, ASDA, etc, I would be in difficulties. At my age, I do have an enlarged prostate, and it does cause problems.

More toilets please !

The case rests m'lud.

To whom is that aimed? (sorry!!)
