Urinating in public yes/no ?

[Blue Hills]

I used to use the Doric Arch at Euston a fair bit, but then i used to pop in for a pint a fair bit too, so if the the two didn't activities didn't always coincide I figured it was still fine. They have a screen showing the Euston train departures, so if there was an issue on the line delays it was a good place to go and wait it out till things got moving again.

I used to quite often go into hotels (Charing Cross Hotel was handy, where I used to quite often go with friends for a quiet natter)- if they had bars there would always be toilets - if dressed well-ish and you look as if you knew were you were going no problem. A bit more of a problem these days as some of the more upmarket ones now have folk on the doors.
If you have your wits about you, practically it is not a great problem in London.

Can't say I've any issues here - rarely know where a loo is. It's obvious from the 16 pages you are all old duffers with dodgy bladders

Floods on the M25. Sorry that was me.

When my Mam was a Posty, admittedly in a rural village, there were people on either round she did that would not only let her pop into to use the loo, but also make her a quick cup of tea.

At our work office, we have a pretty obvious disabled loo by the door and reception area. Various courier /deliver drivers often ask "do you mind if I use the loo" which we are obviously happy to oblige.

Yes fair points....but not in a pandemic.Ar the start of lockdowns it was near impossible to find a toilet open.

nah. typical 3 hours on the Road bike/MTB I'll consume over 2 litres of water, all get's sweated off.

You've all got dodgy bladders !

A BAN on begging, urinating or defecating in public, and the misuse of bicycles and skateboards is set to be extended later this month.

Sounds reasonable if there are 24 hr public toilets.

So they haven't caught up with the electric scooter menace yet, then..?

I stopped three times for a pee on today's ride.

Cooler weather got to you?

I don't think there are, unless it says so in the article and I've missed it. Surely any public toilets remaining will be locked early evening at the latest.🤔

The public toilets nearest me have been closed for a while, they are still there if the council wanted to pay for them. I normally use Lidl if I'm in town and need the loo😉

Out on the bike though it's a different story, I've had many wees behind bushes etc. Have had to do the other thing occasionally though I find a very remote spot for that (and take my paper away with me)

Many years ago on a night out I was apprehended mid stream by a copper, had a stern talking to but nothing more luckily.

There are some loos in Burnley; one set are only open 9 hours a day; another closes for weekends!

Not surprising that on overnight rides, most of the group go al fresco at some point.
