Forums Forums Wirral Information Law And Your Rights Public Urination etc

What's going on? My missus just coming back from Aldi along Park Road North and there's a bloke, greyish hair looked about 40ish 50ish, having a slash against his car on the main road just opposite Cavendish Street, silver car, possibly a Vauxhall. Kids with their mother at the nearby bus stop. This at midday. Dirty boy.
Saw a bloke, older, doing same up by the railings round the corner from the River View a couple of weeks ago, in broad daylight.
Earlier in the week someone cleaned their car out of about 10 plastic bottles, discarded sweeties, peanut tin etc and left it on the roadside just by Duke Street. What's with these dirty gits? And people are worrying about "dirty" Rumanians coming to UK...... I should cocoa.

The poor man had probably had a skinful, you can't expect him to drive with a full bladder

Tanked up at 12 noon???
It gets worse. I've just been upstairs, looked out the back bedroom window and there's the fellah from next door but one having a slash in the entry against the wall opposite his back door, which was open, shakes the drops off turns round, goes back in the house and that's that. I can't remember it being this bad since I was in Ceylon and that's going back some. We are surely turning into a 3rd world country.

I am not making excuses for the individual by Aldi but there are certain of us who suffer benign enlarged prostate problems. With that it is difficult to fully empty your bladder when in the correct environment - and that can catch up with you later. With a vengeance. When you have to go, you have to go.

It is normal to do this discretely ie with a container of some sort in the car but sometimes that has been "tidied away".

A colleague of mine with this problem developed a quite discrete way to obtain relief. Open the car bonnet, lean over the engine and gently pee on the radiator grill. The leaking liquid will simply seem like you have a radiator problem and with a bit of care nobody will be any the wiser or be offended.

Just marking their territory.

I do sympathise with folk who need to go but, there is a shortgage of public toilets....

Not sure if the old , ancient law still stands that a man can urinate in public against the rear wheel of a taxi so long as he keeps his right hand on the vehicle !!!
Now, about that cocoa !!

Pregnant women can pee in a policemans helmet,if desperate

It seems dreadful, but is it any worse than all the dogs peeing where they want to, bitches sit on the ground and we have to walk over it. The males cock their leg up when it suits.

female dogs Squat/crouch to urinate.
I steep over it
Not all males cock their leg

Incredibly, this is actually a myth, it has never been a law and there are a lot of (fairly obvious) reasons for it.

It seems to have come about because officers are "advised" to use "discretionary" powers and not to fine/arrest pregnant women from urinating in public.
This seems to be an eminently sensible idea (as long as it's not in the middle of a shop/pavement).

As things will, with half truths and whispers this became a story that a pregnant woman could urinate "anywhere she liked", and so offices/banks etc, "by law" people will claim, have to let her use their toilets (again, untrue, although it could be helpful, and somewhat less messy to do so).

The "allowed to pee anywhere...." Idea was passed into public lore, with a few asking if "anywhere" were truly without exception, the humorist suggesting that this would then include a policemans helmet, which, if you take "anywhere" as an absolute, it would, and so the myth was born.

You can't, you have never been able to, it's not a law.

You'll still get told it is though.

In Germany you can urinate anywhere so long as you are discrete about it and don't flash your bits, you have to face a way from the public, this is females as well as males. Often saw women nipping behind bushes for a slash. I certainly understand about the need to go but surely a bit of discretion goes a long way or we will end up the same as the Indian sub continent. It's the last I'll say on it anyway. Still getting shocked in my 70's after all the places I've been and things I've seen is quite something.

Could be a bit of competition going on there Sunny.


Not only but also: noticeably, gentleman cannot always aim in the right place either.
Put a wine cork down the loo at a party, i.e. you have two, one his and one hers, I guarantee you won't have a drop on the floor. (Target practice)

There is only one public toilet in Bebington and New Ferry which is opened at about 11 a.m. (if you are lucky) and shut by about three. And thats only Monday to Saturday if there is no bank holiday.

The Council has closed them all, right across the Wirral as far as I can see. I don't know what you are supposed to do if you need a pee. Probably the best plan is to take yourself to the Council Offices and do it on their doorstep. They might then take the hint and reopen them. Communities need public toilets.

Years ago, I was in Stockholm on business. A colleague dragged me through the snowy streets one evening to show me a building. It turned out to be the first public urinal in Europe. "The dawn" he said, "of the realisation that rulers have social responsibilities."

In Wirral, however, the sun seems to have well and truly set on it again!

Ha !

Public toilets. Tiny, North wales village. Flint Council have attempted to close the public toilet where many of the walkers and hill climbers arrive and leave from. They expected the small Pub to take the problem on board, for an agreed sum of money. The pub said,,, "fly your kite", and so the villagers have got a team together to keep them open. Key holders, cleaning, supplies etc. It works, and they are very good to do it for the benefit of the public, who probably won't even realise.
Yet another failing Council. Wirral public loos were closing before 2006, but not sure how long before.

very public toilets

Wirral started removing public loos many years ago and actually expected hostelries to provide the service. It wasn't right then and it still is a gross disgrace to abandon the basic needs. Perhaps the likes of United Utilities should get involved - after all it starts out as their water and ends up as their sewage and we all contribute.

there are a shortage of public toilets, if anymore close we will be using a tree like the dogs.

We could do with them here too. Perhaps choosing a councillor's front door as a urinal might encourage them to adopt these things. Not that I am encouraging anyone to do this of course.

Business opportunity here guys, get a few porta-loo's on the go and charge 50p a go

People will pay for public toilets that are clean ,safe and with hand washing facilities and toilet paper, public loos have vanished in recent years,and we do appreciate them when we see them.

Just wondering what happens if you start peeing at 02.59?

As you're in bed by 23.00 I would imagine it could get messy.

There used to be toilets here click
Went to Birkenhead Park sunday to watch one of my sons playing football and found that what used to be the toilets had been changed to dressing rooms which had toilets but could only be used by the footballers I think just when changing before and after the game.
Not sure where children and other visitors could go.
Maybe the new centre?

Yes the new centre seems to be the place.I have used the facilities there on more than one occasion.No doubt that the lack of public toilets these days can be quite awkward at times and leads people into using local fast food places and pubs.Far from ideal.

thats a good idea.

I was impressed this last week with some of the toilets in northern Italy and Switzerland.
Think it a good idea to operate the flush with your foot. Some had automatic flush and contantly flushed as the loo was in use.
The Bernina Express Train which went from Tirano to St Moritz, had automatic toilet door lock so you could not enter if there was inadequate water available.

so no pubs in Bebington, New Ferry or anywhere else on the wirral?

I for one would not like to go in some of these pubs, let alone maybe a Lady on her own or with children.

yes your right again zipper women and kids don't go the toilet in a pub zipper said. it's much better to pee in a dark back alley.

I see a future Darwin award winner here

Sun in the sky during day time, moon at night time. Yep, at least I know I`m on THIS planet.

Forgot every alley/entry on the Wirral where south facing and that shadows don't exist here

hey the kids or women can always have you follow them (pisstaker)

Council list of public toilets and all with radar locks.

https://www.wirral.gov.uk/my-services/transport-and-streets/public-toilets

The reason for all the public peeing etc in India arises from the fact that there are no proper toilets. Step out of your house here and it is much the same!
West Kirby Park is classic. New toilets which are shut at weekends, when the Park sees most use.

There are toilets without radar locks, its just the disabled ones that have radar locks.

The council promised it would coordinate with local businesses as to which were happy to let the public use their toilets - virtually nothing happened as far as I am aware.

When I was in Berlin you could have a lash wherever so long as you was discrete and didn't wave it about, that's classed as indecency. Bit unnerving when passing a woman behind a bush, we were in a bus going to work and were above the height of the bushes. It seemed to be a system that worked anyway. Don't know if the same rules apply now but should think they do.

Common sense used to prevail in this country as well, I'm sure the majority of men have been caught short at some point and had a discrete relief somewhere, its quite normal in the countryside.

Unfortunately around clubs and certain pubs its quite common to see someone NOT doing it discretely and as usual this has brought a clampdown much to the inconvenience of everybody.

"Much to the inconvenience," I like it

Diabetes is also a problem, and some pubs and cafes refuse t let you use their facilities, some even have keys and by the time their acquired it's probably too late

.would these solve the problem???
