I'm an adult who should have even less of an excuse than a child for needing to obtain 'relief' out in public, but, as discussed earlier in this thread, there is often nowhere you can do so ! I have been refused by pubs, petrol stations, shops, restaurants for being 'not a patron', even though I declare I have used the establishments at previous times. Personally I find it outrageous that public conveniences are not available and I find it infuriating that the authorities are all too happy to prosecute you for trying to deal with the matter discreetly yourself. We're not robots, we're born like this, but this seems to be overlooked as people are prosecuted for not have bladders the size of the Hoover Dam. Mind you we DID have bladders THAT size it could get really messy if we got caught short and had to, say, pop down an alley off the High St.....
