One of the advantages of rural life is not having a need for public toilets. Nature provides several down every lane.

Public micturation is an offence, is it not?

Some would say there are only three things that are at the root of all male anxiety...

Sex

Never been a huge concern

Money

As said logically currently have enough, but he future is uncertain

Power

Interesting one, I suppose it depends on what kind, within the workplace it has never bothered me, but the power to change ones life has.

Health and Mortality to that list.

Yes, dementia is a big concern, I watched my mother die of Alzheimer's & it scares the shoot out of me ending up like her.

Can't remember the last time I used public toilets. Even with young kids we just used pub/cafe etc.

Middle class southerners.
What's wrong with bushes? Back entries? Side of your car?
Coming on here with yer lardy dar urination solutions. Makes my blood boil.

Middle class??? How insulting.

[QUOTE 4671528, member: 9609"]that could be right, I'm so much more contented with life as I now have little interest in any of the above.[/QUOTE]

Being nosey, what age did you lose interest in those things?

Back entries?

Pardon!

So, remind me why being a white, (non) middle class, middle aged, hetero sexual male is such a burden.

Not always. There is an offence under the Public Order Act 1986 but the Court of Appeal has ruled that it is not always unacceptable.

Nor does it apply to Herr Flick when he's desperate for a jobby in Edinburgh; it is however covered by section 47 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 and even then only when someone urinates or defecates in such circumstances as to cause, or to be likely to cause, annoyance.

And the maximum penalty is only £50. So, I'd be taking my chances if it was a choice between my splendid trousers getting soiled or dropping them.

Isn't it known as a "Greyfriar's" in Edinburgh?
It's always to the annoyance of the 2 (for corroboration required in Scotland) Police witnesses who catch you in the act though. Another one of those convenient offences for the Police and their statistics, as it always has a 100% defecation detection rate.

You sound as if you live in some sort of paradise. Does your council still provide an adequate network of public toilets ?

You sound as if you think you live in your own personal hell, though I'm sure it would be paradise to many.

There is still an adequate network of public toilets locally, all currently free but will be 30p a go from April. The council are having to introduce charges because their budget has been steadily reducing, partly due to the council tax freeze over the last 10 years. This reduction in funding also affects road maintenance, which explains the roads falling to bits.

Still, at least the council tax freeze is ending so councils won't have to cut so much and we can all stop moaning.
Oh wait....

Blackpool's like that only there, they are classed as shop doorways.

I really thought the OP was a joke when I first read it. Seriously, if those are your complaints, then you've got one of the easiest lives in the world, compared to 99% of people.

You're not one of the people who is going to grow up as a permanent stateless refugee, whose home is going to disappear because of global warming, whose mental illness will go untreated leading them to homelessness and an early death. You are not one of the people who will be lose a limb or be blinded because cheap treatments for treatable illnesses are not available. You're not someone who's going to be thrown off their ancestral land for a mine, or a dam project. You're not going to be forced into slavery. You're not being oppressed by your government, tortured or killed because of your political views.

Instead...

You have a roof over your head. You will be provided for in old age. You will have medical treatment when you need it. You will never know extreme poverty or starvation. You can vote for your government. You have reliable electronic access to all the world's knowledge and music and art.

But...

You don't like grey squirrels, the roads could be better and there aren't enough public toilets.

Okay.

You need to take a reality check. Smell the coffee. Or the flowers. And if you're going to be angry, why not be angry on behalf of those who really need better?
