Strange bottles full of orange liquid

[Lynne]

They're back at the top of Worlingham Rd. Saw lots on a skip on Crawthew a few weeks ago, so the problem hasn't gone away

I saw 1 x large bottle of the misterious orange liquid in Keston Rd last week. It was standing on the road beside a parked car. I didn't really want to resurrect this post but since op has, might as well add it to the list of sightings.

Drawing up a rota of people to sit and wait for somebody to drop off bottles of urine (or not) might be quite the whackiest comment ever placed on this forum. Which is saying something. I can see the wife's face now...

I think the time has come for Everyone posting here to supply a sample of pee

to be sent for analysis so they can be eliminated from any enquiry.

Yes, Fox, a sort of P.N.A test..?

How much does CCTV cost? Worlingham/crawthew gets a lot of fly tipping too. (And while I'm ranting, yes, I do include the "gentry" who think they're too grand to have dustbins in their newly landscaped in their gardens and leave all their dustbins/builders rubble on the pavements. What do us peasants matter?

[treehugger]

So am I a "peasant" if I don't have a landscaped garden?

[Lynne]

That depends. If you have "grounds" or "the estate", rather than gardens,obviously not

I saw bottles on Ryedale the other day too...it defo looks like pee...also to add in to the mix somebody...

Again presumed a taxi driver as they muster on our road whilst waiting for a hire, did a poo last year in front of my neighbours door in the middle of the night, leaving toilet roll etc so defo not a fox. They actually had to walk up stairs and off the street to do this, I imagine so as not to be spotted...utterly gross and unnecessary!

Having Read every one of the 11 pages on this post my thoughts are that its the work of some kind of nutter/fetishist. cab drivers relieving themselves into plastic bottles, keeping them and then dumping them en-masse, sometimes in weird formations just sounds too much hassle.

After all, lets be honest, all a man needs to do is jump out his car, unzip his trousers, wee against a tree or a wall and jump back in the car again.

The thought of someone sat in their car, aiming into a plastic bottle closing the lid then storing it until he's filled a few more bottles and dumping the lot in full view just doesn't make sense.

I think someone gets some kind of weird kick doing this,like a peculiar OCD thing. perhaps they think its warding off evil spirits, or some kind of witchcraft ritual.

Just encountered one of these bottles on South Croxted Road - either the perpetrator has increased his reach or we have a WD copycat!!

[scotslass]

This has become such a boring thread

[tfm33]

Do you mean, when compared to other discussions about bottled urine?

[binary_star]

Is anyone still in doubt that this is urine? It IS piss. Almost guaranteed... drivers (cabbies, lorries, bus and coach drivers) do it ALL THE TIME. Report it or get over it: http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-12937483

I find it difficult to believe I have just read all 11 pages of this sorry tale.

It reminds me of a story about Howard Hughes who was famously reclusive and eccentric. He suffered severe kidney damage in a flying accident and for the rest of his life had great difficulty urinating. He would take about 3 hours to perform the task while seated in a chair. The urine was collected in a Kilner jar and when full they were stored in his hotel room. many dozens of these jars would accumulate until he authorised them to be emptied and cleaned. he then insisted on them being broken and disposed of in an anonymous fashion.

My thoughts?

Persistent nature of activity and quantity of waste involved, coupled with localisation of activity points to the following...

Perpetrator is a deranged/obsessive individual

Not an incontinent driver (quantitys and frequencys do not support this theory)

Not a wind up/art installation (too many repetitions,a prankster would be bored by now and an artist would have claimed responsibility even if anonymously like Banksy)

Not an eco vandal/evil corporate polluter (this type of individual would just quietly place the waste in an unobserved dustbin)

Suggestions for apprehension of perp.

Fingerprint bottles/DNA check contents. (Anyone sufficiently deranged to be doing this will almost certainly have come to the attention of the police at some point)

Mount surveillance with suitable camera/ Mk. 1 eyeball. There are some tiny cameras available which will record several days worth onto an SD card and could be hidden in all sorts of unlikely places. They are not very expensive.

In view of the distress that has been caused to several people, the police should be urged to try the first suggestion via the neighbourhood officers. Failing this a direct approach to the Borough Commander might elicit some action.

Of course, if a suspect is identified, the good folk of ED will have to find something else to discuss. Is this a desired outcome? :)

I'm slightly worried!

I previously noticed this thread a few days ago and didn't know what to make if it, I'd forgotten about it until last night when we drove my visiting Mum home to Orpington, as we reversed the car onto her drive we notice 3 bottles of orange liquid carefully placed and pushed back into the bottom of her hedge. we all commented on them and it wasn't until we left that I remembered reading something on here about the same things happening locally. I am worried that they are a signal to indicate something like "elderly lady living alone" as my Mum lives alone and is nearly 80 years of age. I'm not sure what to do or whom to contact redarding this but can't ignore it either just incase. I haven't mention this to my Mum as not to worry her. This is too much of a coincidence.

I don't think you need worry aobut this personally, though it's not a pleasant thing to happen

More bottles are back at the jucntion of Crawthew/Archdale. I 've been wondering about a house on Frogley.

The mysterious bottles of orange liquid of East Dulwich are back!

Persistence on the part of the perpetrator... Or should that be pissistence?

[steveo]

Used cooking oil. I've seen large tubs of it on occasions

[Dopamine1979]

Nah. It's definitely piss. This has been long established. Feel free to verify via a sniff test.

[Lynne]

Just contacted Council about removal

I didn't believe this thread until I saw it with my own eyes. There are six or seven bottles sitting on the electric box at the top of Worlingham Rd (jn with Crawthew Grove).

It does look a lot like urine, but then there is the strange curdled white substance at the bottom... the mind boggles. I was tempted to open and sniff one, but there were passers by. It was too weird. I felt dirty.

There is some work being done in the road a few metres away... workmen with no toilet facilities... coincidence?!

[Jocky]

I clocked these bad boys today on Worlingham Road.

Maybe they contain juice from a local sports club, kids football team or something and somebody's decided to provoke thought by dumping the surplus in an unusual way.

[Lynne]

They were there before workmen.
