Shitting in the street, a.k.a. Street defecation

[8ball]

You're not trying to use logic against this kind of thinking are you?

It’s not a very good attempt.
Both can be true, obviously.

Though I think alcohol and other drugs are a bit more likely.

This all happened in the 80s didn’t it rather than recently. They’ve since installed some pop up urinals in London (in the news recently as a maintenance worker was killed by one) but not sure how that helps women or anyone needing a shit.

No, the decline was steady from the early 1960s, with a big push in the 2000s driving the total in the UK to around just 5,000.

A further austerity-driven heave-ho in the 2010s - particularly with lavatory-maintaining top-level councils (e.g. county councils and unitary authorities) either passing the buck to subsidiary authorities through asset transfers, or using the privatisation-of-public-conveniences ‘Community Toilet Scheme’ as an opportunity to save money and dump their (non-legal) obligations onto businesses and local non-profits - sank the total even lower. Ask Dr Clara Greed.

Fair enough. But from personal experience I can honestly say I haven’t seen public bogs that aren’t in a train station or shopping centre (or connected similarly to somewhere where you spend money) since the 80s.

That's a work of art.

The waste pipe, deconstructed.

A few years back there was (probably still is) an 'issue' with street homeless people around Victoria who frequented the large day centre on Carlisle Place crapping on or near the doorsteps of those million pound flats off Victoria Street and Horseferry Road. Andrew Bridgen MP called for a clearout of all the 'undesirables' in the area, the nasty cunt.

Bridgen, the guy who looks like a failed abortion.

If its more common it's because of the rise in being homeless and lack of public facilities. Remember when there were public baths (I don't mean swimming pools) I remember going to one near Homerton when I was squatting in Hackney in the 80s.

Yep, I used to use the public baths in Inverness.

Only when out running when I dipped behind a hedge in a park to lay an alfresco cable

as long as you only used it for the purposes for which it was intended .....

sigh

kinda reminds me of this for some reason

I can think of loads in Bristol that were closed/sold off/turned into shops or flats only in the last decade or so: Bearpit, Prince Street, Park Row/Woodland Road, Mina Road Park, Colston Avenue...

Waiting for liberal centrist "reasonables" to propose a programme of street shit DNA sampling with full data transparency, to really get to the truth about the ethnic origins of street shit.

In similar circumstances, have given thanks for certain large leafed shrubs

Crack/street drugs scene tbh.

You gotta go you gotta go.

A mates dad when he was living in a caravan used to go to a local sports centre and pay a small fee to use the showers.

The IBS was a real problem when in London. Added to that, the weak bladder esp after drink taken. It's a shame that the jacks were in such short supply.

Tbh. There's more unwanted shit in Westminster than on the streets.

I shat in a cinema corridor once.

I shat in a cinema corridor once.

Look it was almost forty years ago. A Piccadilly Cinema with endless corridors. I had taken lots of drugs and drink and was very confused. A teenage mistake I learned from. (Help, throw me a rope someone).

 

[WhyLikeThis]

Local authorities attitude to cutting funding for public toilets like we can tale a shit by downloading an app.

there's a crap for that...

It’s no joke for people who get caught short and worry about it happening again. Older people, mobility issues, illness. A lack of loos can cause people to stay at home.

Just not a cable.

Wasn't there a dude that went around sitting on/in the buses and trains of deep south London, a few years back?

I once took a dump in a field in Greece after getting pissed up.

I remember reading about a principal (headmaster) lost his job because he pooped on the football field every day until he got caught.

Bit of an own goal for him

A while back, a famous golfer's caddy was interviewed about the golfer pooping on the 18th tee.
He said it smelled terrible, and the other caddies backed him up.

It was not in an English speaking country, and upon further investigation, the reporters realized that what the caddies called pooping, we call farting.
