Delivery driver urinating in a public place!

Wed 3 Nov 2021, 12:54

There are loads of devices for this.  We keep one in our car.  Unisex.  It has granules which solidify.  We've fortunately never had to use it, but I wonder that, if we did, would it go in the grey bin or for recycling?!

Or see this study by Moore and Newsome (2018) on 'Paying for Free Delivery' on the precariousness of the delivery jobs, often on zero hours contracts. No one wants to urinate in public, and agreed Gareth, no one wants to see it. Just pay people properly so that they can afford a lunch break (at a place with a loo).

The Ken Loach film, 'Sorry You Were Out' gives a good insight into the difficulties and time constraints endured by van drivers. Getting to The Co-op loo, parking, finding the right change etc. may not be an option.

I am sure that if any delivery drivers needed to, they'd be very welcome to use the loos at the community centre?

They could find somewhere a little bit 

more private

All people need dignity and privacy at times. We all know that there are almost no facilities anywhere for delivery drivers on the roads of our illustrious country. It’s not the fault of an individual driver if there are no free and easily accessible facilities, is it.

I was not discriminating against women we have the "Shewee".

Beware what sorts of nuts you gather . . . ! Kris

Really odd geography here! Wychwood Close is not opposite Ticknell Piece. And Ditchley Lane does not exist.

I presume the driver was relieving himself on the green space at the top of Ticknell Piece. Please, if somebody catches him there again, point out that is where people gather nuts of various types. Feeling sorry that I did this earlier this month! 

I suspect that his reason for not going into the loos at the Coop is not the 20p charge, but the time it takes for somebody working on a marginal wage.

I think it also worth naming and shaming the company that he was working for if that was known. And, no, a screw top bottle for urine is not an adequate substitute for a decent wage. That solution discriminates against women. Also, as has been shown on numerous occasions over lockdown, drivers on occasions make the mistake of delivering the urine bottle ...

Perhaps  a screw top bottle then the offender doesn't even need to leave the vehicle? No offence to anyone and a great relief to everyone.

I’m sorry that happened and agree that this can cause distress aside from being an offence. I prefer to cross the road and urinate in Wychwood Close, it’s poorly lit and the the camber lends itself to adequate drainage for a hefty bladder like mine. With best wishes.

I agree that Ticknell Piece is a most inappropriate place for such activity, but as someone who lives just outside of Charlbury, I'm not sure how to take your suggestion!
